Water from the Mediterranean Sea rushes through pipes en route to being filtered for use across Israel in a process called desalination, which could soon account for 80 percent of the country's potable water. (Ben Sales/JTA)

UN Agenda 21 ain't gonna like this.

Gotta find some way to shut it down.

Carbon! Yeah! That's the ticket!

The Jewish leaders were always aware of the importance of water to their survival as a nation. That is why even today we are still finding evidence of their water storage and transportation/delivery systems under the old cities if Israel. No dummies they.

Ironically, I first read about this DORO (deep ocean reverse osmosis) some years ago in the anti-Semitic LaRouche rag, “21st Century Science and Technology”, in an article making wild, unsubstantiatable claims (blatant lies) about how water used to be plentiful until the Jews got control of all the wells.

Got Aquaponics?

If you give a Socialist a fish, all you’ve done is feed the appetite of Ba’al.

If you teach them to grow their own fish, OTOH...

Oh I’m familiar with em, saw em used all over the Persian Gulf etc ... Seems the disposal of the salt byproduct was the onus of such. Over at sandia labs they have a solar power tower that uses mirrors to focus heat on a chamber of salt which becomes so hot it runs a steam generator thru the night after going to a molten state during the day.....

Seems a sunny place like Israel could profit with such use of waste salt.

Not sure if the salt and sun tower is still at sandia labs. It was pretty much maintenance free and running well when I was last there...

I’m all for desalination.... Just aware of the waste product associated with it. Still carry a military issued desalinator pump that makes ya sweat a gallon to get a pint...:o)

Stay safe !

With the gas discoveries this should enhance their economic development tremendously.

Deep sea water is *more* salty — though more demanding on engineering and equipment, DORO works better because of that greater difference between the brine at the inlet and the fresh water emerging from the process. :’)

This is an old story. Israel has been desalinating seawater for more than 25 years. That’s why their land is green and fertile, while the rest of the Middle East is parched and dead. And y’all are just now learning about it?

Since disengagement, fences, and missile defense, Israel’s economy has improved. All that’s left to do now is to keep on keepin’ on, and battling with the suicidal leftist useless idiots.

No, they sell it to Morton. We Americans love our salt.
