The city of Jerusalem is not located near any major river or water source nor does it experience much rain fall. .[1] Because of this, from its early history, the city’s inhabitants stored water in wells and pools.

Therefew naturally occuring springs and wells around the city such as The Gihon Spring, The Well of Ayoub, The Red Pool, The Sultan’s Pool, and the Spring of Ein Karem.[2]

This section is dedicated to addressing the water problem in Jerusalem as well as its sources and effects.
