RESEVOIR REBUILDING

Water Infrastructure Renewal at Nahal Oz

Key Metrics

Cubic Meters Restored Reservoir Capacity

Increase in Irrigation Efficiency

Acres Irrigated for the First Time

Acres Revived

  • Region: Israel
  • Sector: Water
  • Status: Completed

On Oct 7th, the agricultural water systems of Kibbutz Nahal Oz  were deliberately targeted and destroyed.  The central reservoir was targeted with grenades, all 40 irrigation control boxes were systematically destroyed and field irrigation lines were damaged beyond repair. 

ReGrow partnered with the kibbutz to launch an ambitious plan in two phases:

1. Restore key irrigation lines, bringing abandoned and vulnerable plots back into cultivation.

2. Rehabilitate the central reservoir, a critical system that stores and distributes water to over 80% of the farmland.

THE MODEL

Our Three Drivers of Change

ReGrow’s model advances projects through connected Field, Innovation, and Policy drivers. As a critical emergency response project, The Reservoir Rebuilding Project primarily engaged the Field driver. 

At the field level, the kibbutz was able to rehabilitate and restore key water systems for their agricultural production.
