Constructing of an effluent reclamation system including a reservoir and pipeline and pumping system. The reservoir receives effluent after pretreatment at an industrial plant in the city of Migdal Haemek, and delivers it for agricultural irrigation.
The reservoir was constructed in the easternmost part of the Jezereel Valley, which was not part of the effluent supply system until that time. The construction of the reservoir, along with the effluent supply system, contributed to the development of agriculture in the region and to a change in the variety of crops to irrigated crops.
