  5. Areas of Activity Water Resource Management Water Quality Hydrology & Drilling Water Supply Water Security Rain enhancement Command & Control Desalination Wells Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Models

  6. Mekorot’s Uniqueness In the World Experience Water Supply Over 70 years of solving water shortage problems Operation of 3,000 facilities 7 million end users 10,500 km of pipes Effluent Reuse Desalination Water Quality Highest water reclamation rate (over 75 %) 30 plants since 1965 Ashdod SWDP-one of the largest in the world, 100 mcm/year One of the largest filtration plants in the world - 500 mcm/year Advanced quality laboratories Water Security WW Treatment Drillings World's leading security strategy & methodology Operation of one of the world's largest plant – 150 mcm/year Advanced drilling and rehabilitation techniques & capabilities

  7. Wells Seawater Desalination Wastewater Bought from Suppliers Kinneret Brackish Water Miscellaneous Water Management Mix of Water Sources in Different Regions (at the annual level) Need for optimal management of all water resources at the national level in view of: • Variability in resource available across the country • Variability in regional consumption • Variability in water quality from different sources • Ability to transfer water from region to region • Cost-cutting (especially in energy) 8% 9% 64% 2% 17% 4% 48% 18% 30% 33% 36% 1% 1% 5% 24%

  8. Water Management • Automated remote control • Operation of the water supply system • A variety of communication technologies / telemetric systems • Online optimization for energy efficiency • Automatic meter reading (AMR)

  9. Water Supply • Integration of four main water sources in one national network that provides unique operational flexibility • Reliable water supply for various uses • Operational planning, including unique and advanced technologies and models

  10. Desalination • Mekorot is one of the first water companies in the world to use desalination as means for increasing the water supply • Mekorot has more than 30 years experience and accumulated know-how in the field • Mekorot has solved water problems in regions not connected to the national water system With new technologies • 30 Seawater & brackish water desalination plants

  11. Desalination (Cont.) • Ashdod – 100 million cu.m. of desalination water: • Total investment of US $500 million • Starting from 2012 • Limassol – B.O.T desalination plant, 20 million cu.m. • Total investment US $100 million • Starting from 2011 • Implementation of new technologies for: • energy efficiency • chemical consumption • boron removal

  12. Water Treatment Central Filtration Plant: • In operation since 2007 • One of the largest and most sophisticated of its kind in the world • Investment of US $120 million • 1.7 million cu.m. per day • Turbidity level of 0.1 NTU • Online monitoring & decision-making

  13. Wastewater Treatment The Third Line to the Negev Project • Over 75% effluent reuse • Capable of supplying all agricultural requirements • Treating to various qualities • Membrane effluent treatment • Supply of reused water to industry Demonstration 160 million cu.m. of treated wastewater from the Shafdan

  14. Effluent Reuse in Israel Goal – 90% Reused 75% 12% 9% 8% 5% <1%

  15. Drillings • 1,200 wells nation wide for: drinking, irrigation, recharge, observation and exploration • Drilling to depths of up to 1,500 meters using advanced drilling technologies • Rehabilitation of contaminated wells

  16. Water Catchment 30 Million cu.m. per year

  17. Rain Enhancement An annual increase of 10-15% in rainfall

  18. Research • Coordinates Research Activities with companies, universities and research institutions worldwide: • Participation in the EU’s fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Framework Programs for R&D IP Coordinates all intellectual property activities at Mekorot • Partnership center • Supports new innovative water technologies solutions relevant to the daily operation of Mekorot • 18 partners WaTech™- Entrepreneurship & Partnership Center for Water Technologies

  19. The “Argentinean Model “

  20. The “Argentinean Model “ • Partnership between “5 de Septiember” & Mekorot Group • G- G agreement • Long term strategic cooperation for the development of water-projects with: - FENTOS - Aguas Bonaerenses S.A ABSA - Israel Technologies & Consulting ITC • Functional cooperation on engineering levels

  21. Modular Long Tern Partnership • Phase I - Operational Consultancy & Technical Support • Phase II - Strengthen Engineering Capabilities (seminars, training in Argentina & Israel) • Phase III - Projects Initiation( feasibility studies, surveys, preliminary design, planning) • Phase IV - Project Implementation

  22. Fields of Cooperation • Water Treatments Plants • Wastewater treatment plants (reuse for industry & Agriculture) • Water Supply Systems (municipal systems, SCADA) • Water quality (contaminations, algae, monitoring) • Desalination (brackish & sea water) • Hydrology & Drilling ( operational methodology, technical specification)

  23. Operational Cooperation • Operational and maintenance guidance • Improvement of operational efficiency • Strategy for coping with major day-to-day technical and operational issues • Process improvement (quality, water loss) • Cutting costs (energy, chemicals, processes) • Technology implementation

  24. Examples of Cooperation • Water Treatment Plant – La Plata • Wastewater Treatment Plants - Bahia Blanca • Hydrology & Drillings - Bahia Blanca Wells • Operational - Patagonia & Punta Lara water supply and Treatment Plants - algae & bacteria - Gonzales Chaves -nitrate removal
