An allocation of 2,000,000 pounds ($666,000) was made today by the Jewish Agency’s agricultural settlement department to set up five new waterworks in various parts of Israel. The slated areas include Adulam and Lachish. The water will come from the National Water Carrier project which is being gradually accelerated.
