  • “Every Drop Counts” – Urban Water Distribution
    It is midnight. The house is quiet, and everybody is asleep. You are reminded that the faucet in the kitchen is faulty by the constant drip-drip-drip-drip noise it makes. You toss and turn – but not alarmed; just ever so slightly annoyed. If you allow it to drip at a rate of a drop a second during … Continue reading "“Every Drop Counts” – Urban Water Distribution"

  • Water for All – Regulation

    Israel is in a semi-arid region. Global climate changes create longer drought periods in the region. And yet, looking from above, one can see green fields and forests, and high-quality water is delivered to homes, businesses, farmers and the industry 24/7. Several components contribute to this success, but it all begins with the Israeli Water Law, passed in 1959.

    In this episode, we see how Israeli water regulation, stemming from the Water Law, enables self-sufficiency and continuous growth – even when drought hits hard.

    We will explore the Californian model of regulation in contrast to the Israeli one, and what are the benefits they possess.

    As with any great invention – drip irrigation began by chance. All it took is a man with an abundance of curiosity and a strong will to solve problems.
