This cycle of excessive infrastructure and energy causes downstream water bodies contamination
Currently, polluted runoff flows in Wadi Kofer and in the wet season, causes severefloods in nearby neighborhoods, the National Park and Safari in Ramat-Gan city. Ramat-Gan municipality invests many resources in drainage infrastructure that transports polluted link to C4C runoff water to the Yarkon River and from there to the Mediterranean Sea. Then, in order to provide water to the city, the State of Israel invests a lot of resources inorder to pump water from the Mediterranean Seato desalination facilities and from there, transports desalinated water to the city.
This cycle of excessive infrastructure and energy causes downstream water bodies contamination, leads to ecological damage,burdens on infrastructure and many costs to the state and the city.The implementation activities that will be carried out during the WSC project will “break” this inefficient and non-ecological cycle, by harvesting the polluted runoff water, purifying upstream, and recharge the purified water into the Ramat Gan local aquifer.
