Access to safe, resilient water supplies is essential to economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.
| KKL-JNF water management projects bolster the country's water economy, and include constructing reservoirs, whose water replenishes groundwater and irrigate farmlands, freeing up freshwater for domestic use; developing wetlands; and rehabilitating rivers and streams. |

|
 |
Implements cutting-edge water treatment technologies, including biofilter systems and constructed wetlands: 5 (Yarkon –Ganei Yehoshua, Rosh HaAyin, Neot Smadar, Kfar Saba, Ramla) |
|
Constructed wastewater treatment facilities, producing water for agricultural irrigation: 5 (Hasolelim, Aryeh Pools, which treats wastewater from western Be'er Sheva, Neot Smadar, Yeruham, Lotam) |
|
Rehabilitates river and stream banks: ~20 (Shikma, Lakhish, Alexander, Yarkon, Hadera, Taninim, Kishon, Harod, Ayalon, Jordan, Naaman, Sorek, HaEla, Besor, Be'er Sheva, Ofakim - Vatikim, Afula - HaMoreh, HaShofet |
|
Constructed ~230 wastewater reservoirs, producing ~300 million cubic meters of water per year, constituting ~40% of the total water for irrigating Israel's agriculture, thus freeing up fresh water |
|
Preserves springs, winter pools and stream within its jurisdiction, while creating a monitoring system to ensure their functioning, including the ability to absorb the public and provide leisure and recreation options |
|
Installed an ecological monitoring system for water in the Hula Valley, north of the Sea of Galilee/Lake Kinneret, to prevent the contamination of Israel's only freshwater lake |
|
Implements technology to regulate runoff in its extensive forests, thus increasing groundwater penetration and reducing the risk of downstream flooding |
