Israel's water economy has returned to full routine operations following the reactivation of the Sorek A desalination plant, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the Water Authority announced on Thursday. The announcement came after a situation assessment led by Minister Eli Cohen, attended by water sector leaders.

During the meeting, officials confirmed that water supply to households and agriculture continues as normal. They also stated that increased production of desalinated water is replenishing reservoirs. Enhanced pumping from wells and the Sea of Galilee further ensures a continuous water supply.
