Unusually murky seawater, caused by severe weather conditions, has forced a temporary shutdown of some of Israel's private desalination plants. The situation has prompted the Water Authority to reduce the supply of fresh water to agriculture in the southern region.
The disruption to the desalination facilities, which are crucial to the national water supply, necessitates adjustments in water management and production. Mekorot, the national water company, is increasing its production from other sources to mitigate the impact of the plant shutdowns and maintain overall water stability.
The Water Authority emphasized that the water economy is fully managed and that current measures are focused on the agricultural sector and adapting the system to the temporary situation. There is no change to the water supply for domestic use at this time.
Officials are closely monitoring the seawater quality and the water economy, preparing for the possibility that adverse weather conditions may persist. They anticipate that some desalination plants will resume operations soon as seawater quality improves, with the goal of returning all facilities to full capacity once conditions allow.
