Part 5/10:
Wonderfully, Israel has not only tackled water supply but also revolutionized agricultural practices in desert regions through innovative techniques, notably the drip irrigation system. This method allows water to be delivered directly to the roots of plants via a network of tubes and valves, ensuring that an astonishing 95% of the applied water is absorbed.
Additionally, the country’s agricultural strategy includes the planting of resilient trees and the creation of artificial lakes to nurture fish species suited to the warm climate, ultimately leading to significant fish production.
This comprehensive approach enables Israel to not only achieve self-sufficiency in food production but also to export agricultural products worth more than $2.5 billion annually.
