Water Is Precious Israelis have a special respect for water—mayim . Why ? Because half the country is desert , maintaining an adequate water supply has always been difficult . The Hermon and the Upper Galilee , with its high mountains , green valleys , and running rivers , provide one-third of Israel’s water . Water from snow and rain flow down Mount Hermon , feeding the Jordan River and its tributaries . Through a network of pumping stations , reservoirs , canals , and pipelines , water from the north is carried to the rest of the country . This waterfall is at the source of the Jordan River .
