Lake Galilee is located in the northeast of Israel. It originated from the Jordan River. It is an inland lake. It is the largest natural freshwater source of Israel and the lowest freshwater lake in the world. Local residents have used lakes to irrigate farms and vineyards for many years. However, climate change makes it face a dry crisis. Israel's solution is to cost US $ 2.64 billion, laying a pipeline of 1.6 meters wide and 31 kilometers long, and injects the deslated seawater into the stream of Lake Galilee. It is put into use within a few months and can transport about 120 million square meters of water per year.

As a country with insufficient water resources, Israel has mature techniques and rich experience in seawater desalination. The five seawater desalination plants in its coastal areas can provide almost all drinking water for the country's 9.2 million people. (Luke)
