an underground reservoir that excess rainwater will be installed in the power plant in Kiryat Gat

Posted on Dec 27, 2020 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

An initial project in Israel of an underground reservoir that will absorb the excess rainwater will be installed in the new power plant being built in Kiryat Gat in order to absorb the rainwater from the site and protect the sensitive facilities from excess floods.
The reservoir, with a volume of 1000 cubic meters, will be built over the next week using a unique German technology brought to Israel by the Agrolan company, which specializes in environmental solutions. The facility is made of eco-block units - modular plastic parts that create underground reservoirs that keep the carpenter underground and help introduce rainwater into the ground. With its help, the runoff water can be treated locally even before it reaches the traditional drainage systems that do not withstand the load. The reservoir is very strong and durable and the area above it can be used for a variety of uses such as pedestrian crossings, a public park and even a car park for heavy cars and trucks.
Hanan Glickman, project manager at Agrolan: "We all know every year the constant images of floods that are caused in Israel every winter and cause heavy damage. It's time to stop treating it as a fate. The facility we build absorbs the excess water from the surface and roof gutters and then they "Gradually seeping into the groundwater. This is the concept that is being used today in the world and in which a local solution is given to the drainage water instead of building infrastructure for their transport to distances.
