Water sector 'fully stable' following assessment, reservoirs to be filled over weekend
The announcement follows shutdowns at Israel's desalination plants amid high seawater turbidity, with plants in Ashkelon and Ashdod still inoperative as of Friday.
Israel's water sector was deemed fully stable after a situational assessment, according to a joint statement from the Energy and Infrastructure Ministry and the Water Authority. Water supply to all residents and the agricultural sector continues as usual, thanks to a combination of dynamic operation in the desalination facilities alongside increased water flow from the Sea of Galilee and hundreds of wells across the country.
National reservoirs will be filled over the weekend as water consumption decreases to ensure maximum redundancy for next week.
