1 Tel Aviv s s Urban Water system ; from Source to Reuse Avi Aharoni SWITCH Project: Workshop on Learning Alliance December 10-11, 11, 2006 Tel Aviv, Israel

2 Annual Rainfall in Israel Desert Border RAINFALL less than to to to to 1,000 more than 1,000

3 Water Sources Surface Water Ground Water Rain Enhancement by Cloud Seeding Desalinated Sea and Brackish Water Wastewater treatment and Effluent reuse

4 The National Water Supply Western Galilee Basins Carmel Basin Coastal Basin Kinneret and Golan Basins Eastern Basins 100% 80% Annual Water Consumption in million m 3 (m.c.m.) Mountain Basin (Yarkon-Taninim) 60% 40% Others Mekorot 20% Negev Basins 0% Residential Industry Agriculture Total Watershed Arava Basins Others Mekorot Total Based on 2004 figures

5 Water Sources in 2005 and % 20% % 15% 71% 5% 22% 50% 1% Natural Water Brackish Water Desalination 3% Sea Water Desalination Brackish Water Treated Waste Water

6 Water Challenges Supply water to the growing demand in an arid region. Dealing with a vast array of water quality and security issues Copping with security issues

7 Water Supply Main Goals Maintaining and improving water supply reliability, efficiency and quality. Developing the water system for sustainability and future needs. Maintaining water sources and developing additional water sources. Decreasing water loss. Decreasing operational costs.

8 Decision support system for Integrated water systems Mekorot developed computerized Decision support systems such as: - Operation of Lake Kinneret under conditions of uncertainty (on daily and monthly basis) - Operation of the Mountain Aquifer - Water Quality modeling for the National Water System - Desalinated Water Integration Simulator - Hydrological models of the Lake Kinneret Watershed - Design of the seasonal operation of the Dan Region Reuse Project - A model for the operation of the Coastal Aquifer - A model for the integration of desalinated seawater into the National Water Supply System - Statistical models for the analysis of changes and trends in water supply systems

18 Water Resource Management The national network combines four main water sources that provide unique operational flexibility. Supplying water reliably for various uses. Operational planning with unique and advanced models.

19 Rain Enhancement

20 Online Monitoring

21 Rain Enhancement - Using rain enhancement under professional guidance of the rain committee. - Researches show an increase of 18% in precipitation in the Sea of Galilee Drainage Basin - 3 seeding aircrafts and 35 ground generators.

22 Rain Enhancement (continued) Meteorological Radar

23 Wells 1,150 wells nation wide. Drilling to depths of up to 1,500 meters to different aquifers. Producing water from depths of up to 450 meters different water qualities. Advanced drilling technologies and equipment installation. Advanced rehabilitation techniques overcome of clogging of wells.

24 Water Quality In the last 10 years, Mekorot has constructed: 1,000 chlorination plants 100 fluoridation plants 16 filtration plants (including the Central Filtration Plant at a cost of 100 million US$)

30 Effluent Desalination The Goal: Reuse of the effluent that not be able to recharge ( 16 Mm3 in 2020), and upgrade the effluent quality for unrestricted irrigation. Effluent not be able to rechrge(mm3/year) Mekorot is operating in Shafdan a pilot plant for effluent desalination to produce a capacity to desalinate effluent in such this amounts.
