Abstract

Urban development above a phreatic aquifer can reduce substantially the amount of water that infiltrates and recharges the water resource. In Israel's coastal plain, the area of which is about 1900 km², 650 km² are already urban, and another 625 km² are expected to become urban by 2020. This paper presents the motivation, methodology and results of estimating the present and expected future loss of recharge to the aquifer, as a consequence of urban development above it. The paper ends with recommendations for implementing water-sensitive urban planning.
