Over years, during low rainfall periods, the supply and quality of water supplied to the north have been poor.

Following the completion of the new water facility by IDE, the total annual water desalination capacity in Israel through seven facilities will touch 900 million cubic metres, catering to around 90% of domestic and industrial water consumption requirements.

IDE Technologies will commence construction of the water desalination plant early next year.

Construction of the plant will last 30 months, with its planned opening scheduled in mid-2025.

Water from the plant will be supplied to the national network for a period of 25 years, with revenues  estimated at ILS180m ($52.5m).
