‘Obi Hayot’: Better Drinking Water
A new program of centralised water supply in the countryside is being carried out in
the republic. During the realisation of the previous program 7,400 kilometres of water
supplies were built in rural areas. The new program calls for the construction of more
than 9,500 kilometres. Its financing will be both from centralised sources, and from the
farms themselves, and credits from banks and investors. Specialized organisations in
the system of the Ministry of Agriculture are trying to improve the quality of drinking wa-
ter. The joint-stock company ‘Obi Hayot’ has established direct contacts with companies
in Germany, Japan and other states. Their aim is together to develop new technology
for water supply. They promise that the new pipelines will improve the taste of the water
they will supply too!
