KKL-JNF has built over 240 reservoirs around Israel that store treated water for agricultural use. The reservoirs we build with your support supply about 40% of all water used in agriculture each year. Israel reuses close to 90% of its effluents, mainly for irrigation. Our reservoirs ensure that this precious resource can be stored and reliably accessed by farmers in times of need.
In addition to building new reservoirs, we invest a great deal in maintaining and renovating existing ones. With your partnership we will boost the sustainability of irrigation in Israel, thereby conserving our precious natural water bodies for generations to come.
