Arik Ashkenazi, chief engineer at the Ein Netafim wastewater treatment plant, walks between water clarifier basins at the facility in Israel’s southern Red Sea port city of Eilat on July 13, 2023. Hemmed in between the Red Sea and a desert, isolated from the rest of Israel and with no natural freshwater, Eilat’s drinking water is a combination of desalinated groundwater and sea water. After its domestic use turns it into sewage, it is treated and then allocated to farmers, enabling the arid region to support an agricultural industry. While Eilat used to be the exception in Israel’s water management, it is now more of a prototype for the country and perhaps to the world.
