A flood of riches: How Israel leads the world in water desalination

24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Israel's desalination plants are running, transforming seawater into drinking water. A world leader in the technology, 75 percent of the state's drinking water comes from this megaplant in Hadera.

Many countries that suffer from lack of drinking water they should learn with Israel and build facilities like this one instead of blaming Israel for everything bad that happens in the world

[jascam]

The US Southwestern States should take a page from Israel playbook and get their water issues in order. Don’t wait for the Feds you’ll be caught up in the bureaucracy for years to come.

don't look cheap. energy is getting pricier, is it feasible to run such plant?
with rising prices of energy, there could be a point where this water will be too expensive.

Does anyone know what happens to the salt? Does it become useful?

[qoldies]

Impressive. Sending it over to the Sea of Galilee too?

[BretFromPhilly]

I'm not convinced that Israel should exist, or even that our ancestors (being European) came from that area. But I am impressed by their technology. That puts me in the awkward position of holding two conflicting views. They're not contradictory though.

Interesting thanks, two questions 1) what happens to the salt extracted? and secondly does this water get distributed amongst all ie Israelis and Palestinians?

APOCALIPSIS 6. 5 Cuando abrió el tercer sello, oí al tercer ser viviente, que decía: Ven y mira. Y miré, y he aquí un caballo negro; y el que lo montaba tenía una balanza en la mano. 6 Y oí una voz de en medio de los cuatro seres vivientes, que decía: Dos libras de trigo por un denario, y seis libras de cebada por un denario; pero no dañes el aceite ni el vino.

What if Israel owned all of the Middle East except for Egypt but has the Sinai Peninsula?

Israel Area: 2, 416, 185 sq miles

How different would Israel be if this was real life not fantasy and all of the Jews that was killed by the Nazis and the Soviets moved to Western Asia?
