Key Findings
- The Coastal Aquifer in Israel and Palestine is suitable for seasonal water storage. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) may also help to control seawater intrusion.
- Despite being a karst system, the Western Mountain Aquifer has considerable potential for large-scale, multi-annual water storage.
- Due to low flow velocities, the Disi Aquifer is highly suitable for the long-term storage of desalinated water. Additionally, MAR could reduce the rate of increasing salinity and radioactivity concomitant with the decreasing water table.
