Student: mekif a beer sheva

My name is Nitzan Ezra. I graduated from Mekif Alef High School in the gifted program in 2023. During high school, I researched at a university at the ”Alpha” program for science-oriented kids. In the program, I’ve studied biology and learned about water problems. that year, I took a gap year to volunteer at Green Horizons as a guide. I teach kids about Israel’s landscape and independence through the wilderness. I love experimenting, hiking, and being outdoors. I also love being on live shows and exploring new places with friends. Next year, I will go to the army, and then I want to travel and hike around the world and study mathematics and eco-biology at the university.

Tell us what the water concern in your country is!

I'm living in a semi-arid area. There is a big issue with water shortage. Most of the fresh water and desalinated water is for domestic use. There is an increased demand for irrigation water. To solve the problem, we use saline water in South Israel, but it damages the crops.

This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:

I believe one of the solutions for a sustainable future is finding ways to use wastewater efficiently. Using wastewater for our needs will allow us to save freshwater for the most important and irreplaceable domestic use.
