JERUSALEM (MarketWatch) -- Pilgrims following Pope Benedict to Nazareth this Thursday may be happy to learn that in the nearby Sea of Galilee, they too can now walk, even march, where Jesus once walked on water, as this feat no longer requires a miracle. What seems to beg a miracle is the restoration of this lake's, and the entire Jewish state's, fresh-water sources.
Famous for its beauty, sanctity, depth and sweetness, the Sea of Galilee - known here as Lake Kinneret -- has been debilitated by both man and nature, so much so that one can now walk there in a tuxedo well past rusting "No Diving" signs and forlorn ship docks hanging in the air. Lurking beyond this tale of industrial enterprise and environmental exhaustion is a major economic challenge that is quietly giving rise to a utility revolution that will likely become part of a growing global trend.
Israel has had a water problem since its inception, as most of its land is arid and much of its limited rainfall is untrappable. The one place where water was abundant, that lone northern lake, was on the opposite end of the country's reservoir of arable lands.
