Transcribed from the clipping

“Israel’s conquest of the Golan heights has added a dividend to this country’s precious water supplies, and Israeli engineers have begun collecting it… the water may be sweet enough so that as much as 320 million cubic feet may be obtained, adding almost a third to the total supply.”
