Water never was a plentiful comodity in the Land Flowing with Milk and Honey. Practically every time the Children needed a drink of water in the wilderness God had to make a miracle.
Although today the rich just pay up and happily drink down without a care the poor still need miracles.
This isn't just the bad luck of the poor and the good luck of the rich.
This disgusting situation is actually caused by the rich and water costs rise as the number of rich people in Israel rise. The rich are actually taking from the poor to get richer.
Let me explain with two examples I'm aware of, I'm sure there are many more:
2) Water that used to flow into the Sea of Galillee is trapped in dams on the Golan Heights.
These are only two examples where the country's water supply is depleted by rich consumers, causing a shortage and the cost to rise.
In other words the entire population of Israel is subsidising the production of Potash from the Dead Sea and agriculture on the Golan Heights and I guess many other consumers I and the average citizen knows nothing about but I'm sure that many of my readers do.
These consumers must pay and the government must stop milking us so that they can make bigger profits.

Let me explain with two examples I'm aware of, I'm sure there are many more:
1) 25 million cubic meters of good sweet water is needed for the annual production of Potash. This water is provided by 32 wells in the Dead Sea area.
