TEL AVIV – Israel is set to double its annual water supply to Jordan as the country suffers from a deepening water crisis, made worse by the influx of refugees flooding its borders since the Syrian civil war broke out.

Next month, Israel’s national water carrier, Mekorot, will lay a new pipeline from the Sea of Galilee and through the Jordan Valley to provide the Hashemite Kingdom with 100 million cubic meters of water annually, double its current allocation, the Israeli website Globes reported on Wednesday.

WHAT? Those bastards! Oh, wait..................

The Israelis’ hatred of their neighbors never ceases to underwhelm me...

This is able to be done by virtue of one of the most OMG projects in that region, the Ashkelon (south of Tel Aviv) Reverse Osmosis desalination water plant. It has the capacity of 396,000 cubic meters per day of potable water with intake from the Mediterranean Sea.

Great. Are they pumping the salt back in to the Med so the salinity rate isn’t lowered causing all the fishies to die? I knew there had to be a down side to this. ;-)

I remember, fifty years ago, when Syria was trying to divert all water from the Jordan River to deny the water to Israel.

[rktman]

Hey, sharing is caring. Oh, never mind. I’m kinda thinkin’ we should put some catch buckets in Iceland and diverting all that fresh glacial run off to wherever it’s needed.

Jordan is 90% desert but they are getting help from Israel to fix their long term requirements Red Sea/Dead Sea Project

You gotta be real careful with those Jewish folks! First they seduce you with bagels and cream cheese and the next thing you know you’re looking forward to Purim so you can get some fresh Hamantaschen!

Shalom! (-:
