Zusammenfassung:With the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948, Israel inherited the Ottoman law for water and not the English Rule of Riparian Rights. The Ottoman law allowed the State to control the water sources and, in fact, did not allow private ownership of water sources. In its early years, Israel promulgated some of the most forward looking legislation in the world concerning protection of water sources.

It is now time for Israel to redesign its water system along catchment basin lines.
