In today's video, we're going to introduce How Israel Turned From Desert into a Farmland Oasis Exporter
Israel is now turning its barren lands into fertile fields and here is how!
In 2012, a reputable report to the world about upcoming water crises would affect more than 1.5 billion people. As of today, Israel is one of the well-known suppliers of water.
The motivation behind this feat originates from Israeli history as in 1920, British government who had charge of this land To address the problem, in 1939, the finest Polish hydraulic engineer Simcha Blas was commissioned to design a new water distribution system. Simcha Blas as expected came up with a three-phase plan that would extend over decades but would resolve the issue right from its core.
The first phase was to dig deep boreholes to extract water from the ground. The Polish engineer was convinced that even beneath the arid soils of Israel there are bodies of water.
However, due to Israel's high desert to land ratio, they had to make sure that every drop of water the extract is utilized. For that purpose, in the next two phases, Israel started establishing a distribution system that would transport water from richer areas to ones that lacked a drop.
This brings us to the second phase of this plan which revolved around pumping water Jordan River to the Southeast.
But by far, the most important phase of this plan was the third one,
The third phase was the construction of the national aqueduct, which was a huge diversion, of more than 10 kilometers that would transfer water from the north of the country, particularly from the sea of Galilee to the largest freshwater lake in the country. Execution on Simcha Blas's plan was initiated on an urgent basis because at that time the newly independent Hebrew state was welcoming more and more immigrants to provide for their needs water was of utmost importance.
Here is an interesting rather controversial aspect that the Israeli parliament agreed upon making an agreement with Germany for this project. Nevertheless, they had the money because of the indemnity they received as compensation. They received 3 billion Marks and by 1955 the Jordan river diversion was completed and in the next few years, the process of building the aqueduct in the country started. In 1964, the national aqueduct also became a reality.
To address the problems regarding water supply that originated in the 21st century. Bang in 2006, the water management system was transferred from political to technocratic custody. The Israel Water authority was created whose mission is to manage this system in a highly professional manner. They started charging for the seamless supply of reliable water because building water infrastructure costs a lot, and another reason was to promote the idea of saving water because when people have to pay more they start consuming less. As a direct response to this decision residential water consumption in the country depleted by 20 percent. This is not the only authority working for the betterment of water distribution, but Israel also ventilated the air of new companies lining up to innovate in this perspective.
Agriculture in Israel has flourished astonishingly thanks to the seamless supply of water. Every year Israel manages itself $2 billion worth of agricultural sales and interestingly so major share revenues come from fruits and vegetables. They developed a technique called 'Drip Irrigation' that allows saving 6 percent of water while improving crop yields. This technique involves watering the plant drop by drop directly to the root. This technique was improved by another technique called fertigation which involves drip irrigation with fertilizers.
Another problem Israel faced was the saline nature of supplied water and to deal with that the country instead of investing loads of money in desalination plants developed fruits and vegetables that are least bothered by the presence of salty minerals in the agricultural water supply.
