This paper deals with the necessity of finding alternative water resources to Israel’s emptying water reservoir. The author, Prof. Dan Zaslavsky, is rejecting in this paper the idea of The “Two Seas Canal” (an idea that was rejected formerly five times for economic inefficiency and for other various reasons) and is suggesting two different alternatives. The first is the “Northern Alternative” – which in a nutshell recommends a decrease in the pumping from the Kinneret (the Sea of Gallile) and replacing them with desalinized water. The second one is the “Southern Alternative” which recommends the use of the most expensive and the most important natural source in Israel – dry hot air and its utilization through Heat Chimneys ( Energy Towers) that will be established near Eilat.
