Heavy rains cause technical failures at major desalination plants, disrupting national water supply in Israel

The heavy rains of the last few days have led to complex technical failures in several major desalination plants across Israel. As a result, there has been a significant disruption in the regular water supply on a national level in recent hours. The infrastructure system is working to overcome the failures and return the plants to full operation, but at this stage urgent intervention is required to manage demand in order to prevent further decline in pressures and emergency reserves.
