Court denies Bedouin villages' request for water supply

The Water Court has denied a petition filed by residents of two unrecognized Bedouin villages, who asked that the Governmental Authority of Water and Sewerage and the Israel Land Administration be instructed to connect them to water supply.

The residents claimed they had no access to drinking water, but the court ruled that there were water centers at a reasonable distance from the communities. (Ilana Curiel)
