The Visitors Center offers an explanation of Israel’s national water supply system, including Israel’s various aquifers, and a tour of the site’s pumping stations. Entrance to the site is by way of Kibbutz Givat HaShlosha, adjacent to the kibbutz country club. The tour takes approximately 1.5 hours.
