Neighbors of the Yarkon Details
The Neighbors of the Yarkon is an NGO working to recover the Yarkon River in Israel. Our vision is to make the Yarkon the second shoreline of Tel Aviv. We are a group of volunteers that are collectively putting pressure on parts of the government that control the health of the stream in order to have them improve its health. In addition, we are raising the issue on the public agenda through the different media channels. We believe that in order to improve the health of the river, all that needs to be done is to add more water to the stream from its source in Rosh Ha-Ayin. The stream currently has 1.6% of the flow measured in the 1950s, and according to research, the river will be able to recover itself if that flow returns to 32% of its original amount, which can also be measured as 70 million cubic meters per year.We have received national and international attention media for the concern relating to the river that we have raised with the public. From time to time there have been issues of mass fish deaths or white foam coating the surface of the water resulting from a chemical reaction with the effluent. We held several protests along the river on different occasions to help raise awareness for our cause.With public concern increasing and awareness of the situation with the Yarkon river, we are hoping that together we can improve the health of the Yarkon and make it the second shoreline of Tel Aviv.
