For more than 85 years, Mekorot has embodied the unique Israeli spirit: daring, sophistication, and innovation in the face of the complex challenges of the Israeli water economy. These challenges are derived from the country’s location on the edge of the desert and lean sources of water, which face constant threats.

We do this by constantly pushing the limits of knowledge and expanding the capabilities of water technologies.


Company's Solutions

Technological innovation is us.

Demand for water forces Mekorot to constantly look ahead, to lead the world to a safer and more stable future of water.
