Yarkon Taninim Aquifer

The Yarkon-Taninim Aquifer is located in Israel/Palestine. It is a limestone aquifer. It is located under the foothills of the center of the country. It is used by Israel for roughly 340 million cubic meters of water every year and for the Palestine the use approximately 20 million cubic meters a year. The aquifer goes down the Mediterranean sea, beginning in the North west of Israel and going South. The water recharges in the Judean mountains and ends in Taninim Springs on the coast of the Mediterranean sea. Some problems with the aquifer is it underlies the dead sea which the salt could contaminate the aquifer,
