Desalinated Seawater for Israel's Sea of Galilee
(Globes) Oren Dori - On Dec. 27, 2022, Israel launched the "Reverse Water Carrier" project to send desalinated water from the Mediterranean Sea to Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) in order to maintain the level of the Kinneret in dry and low rainfall years. Israel supplies water from the Kinneret to neighboring Jordan, as part of the peace agreement between the two countries. Recently, Israel agreed to double the amount of water it supplies to Jordan to 100 million cubic meters annually, making the need to maintain the Kinneret's level even more critical.
