Abstract

Water scarcity is a “fact of life” in Israel, where demand for water routinely exceeds its supply. The commonly agreed-upon policy to bring demand and supply into balance failed mainly due to population increase. In addition, he years 2001–2005 saw the most severe drought to hit Israel in a century. In this chapter we discuss how different water issues were dealt over time by the Water Authority in Israel.
