Israel Curbs Water Use as Desalination Plants Remain Offline Israeli authorities have ordered reductions in nonessential public water use as five of the country's six major desalination plants remain offline due to unusually high seawater turbidity. Municipalities have been told to reduce irrigation of public parks and gardens, while agriculture in southern Israel faces cuts. Hadera was the only major facility operating Tuesday morning after Sorek A and B, which briefly resumed operations overnight, were shut again. Officials say household water supplies remain largely unaffected and the national system is under control. Israel onlines WhatsApp channel Join Israel online
