Drought and Water Solutions In Israel -- Environmentalism and Water Management

There is a Growing Need for Water Management and Solutions to Drought. See what Israel is doing to remedy these environmental and global concerns.
Watch this documentary, hosted and directed by Yuval David, produced by JNF USA, the Jewish National Fund USA.
Follow Yuval as he travels around Israel with JNF USA and as he learns about the drought and overall scarcity of water. Due to Israel's clever water management, Israel still has water. There are growing needs for more to be done.
Israel is the number one country in water conservation and management. It recycles more than 85% of its waste water. (The number two country in recycling is Spain, which only recycles 17%.)
There is much more to be done to combat the drought in Israel. Throughout the process of water management, Israel shares its experience, research, and solutions with other nations combating global water issues and drought.
This process is ongoing, and Israel needs your help. Join the cause and support JNF USA in its initiative to solve the water issues. For more on the water programs, go to JNF.org/Water or call 1.800.JNF.0099.

[@DavidElzeitsinfill]

One thing we need to do is move water from the ocean back inland to places we need it and if we can do that while generating clean energy we have a chance to mitigate climate change and still have a prosperous future. It is really, really hard but it is not impossible. The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution. Thank you for your time, I would like the opportunity to explain in further detail and answer any questions

You guys need to combat desertification the best you can and plant lots and lots of deep rooting grass. This is to take what little rain water you guys receive and put it into the earth rather then allowing it to run off. Also slowing water down and preventing run off. You would be amazed at how much the local climate and eco system will benefit from this. Once the aquifers have become recharged natural springs will begin appearing all over the place.

Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential.
