Abstract
The demand for water in Israel does not coincide, temporally or spatially, with the natural availability of the resource. Water supply must therefore rely on a national system that conveys surface water from the north to the south, in conjunction with groundwater storage. Demand in Israel and the territories is in growing disproportion to the renewable resources, and legal and administrative measures have been instituted to control groundwater use and prevent damage to the overexploited resources. All natural water resources have been utilized to their maximum sustainable yield. Marginal sources, such as recycled domestic wastewater, flash floods and saline water, are being exploited to an increasing degree. In addition, plans exist for future use of additional sources, such as importation of water or sea water desalination.
