water for irrigation and drinking

I am adding an explanation that appeared in the magazine of the Jerusalem Post on March 5, 2010.
"Israel conserves freshwater primarily for drinking and it is enough. So our wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, street drains, etc. is sent to wastewater treatment facilities and treated to a tertiary level - over 90% fresh - that goes mostly to agriculture."
