We live water. We supply water.

MEKOROT

We are Mekorot

Mekorot has conveyed water, the source of life for more than 85 years

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 are the National Water Company of Israel.

Everything that Mekorot does is for the Israeli people: the family at home, the farmer in the field, the worker in industry. We understand the needs of each of them and plan and design Israel’s water map accordingly, putting Israel on the global water map.

 

We do this by constantly pushing the limits of knowledge and expanding the capabilities of water technologies. We turn every risk into a possibility and every challenge into an opportunity in order to always ensure an available and reliable supply of high-quality water.

Economic Strength

One of the best water companies in the world. Fact!

Mekorot’s achievements in the water sector have positioned the company as a global leader and established Israel’s standing as a water powerhouse in the OECD.

In May 2022, Global Water Intelligence (GWI) recognized Mekorot as one of the 60 leading utilities in the world. The recognition followed a review of Mekorot’s innovation and technological operations in recent years.

The new rating follows the GWI 2020 rating, which marked Israel as having one of the four most advanced water sectors in the world. The 2020 rating stated that Mekorot is one of the best utilities in the world, because of its water loss rate of less than 3%, compared with the OECD average of 15%, and praised the company’s infrastructures, research, professional knowhow, and handling of water sources.

Mekorot achieved its standing following outstanding results in dealing with the challenges of global warming, which threatens the future of water sources in the Middle East and worldwide.
