Part 3/10:
Initiated in 1953 and constructed by Mekorot, one of the world’s largest water companies, the National Water Carrier is regarded as Israel’s most significant infrastructure project. Spanning 135 km, this complex system was meticulously designed to resolve the urgent need for potable water across the nation, particularly benefiting the Negev Desert in southern Israel.
The project's complexity is underscored by the fact that it begins at the Sea of Galilee, located over 200 meters below sea level. This required the implementation of an advanced system to pump water to common levels.
