Israel Proves the Desalination Era Is Here

Israel Proves the Desalination Era Is Here | Stage 4 Water in the World | Scoop.it
From www.scientificamerican.com - January 6, 2017 6:43 PM
“One of the driest countries on Earth now makes more freshwater than it needs”

Driven by necessity, Israel is learning to squeeze more out of a drop of water than any country on Earth; researchers have pioneered new techniques in drip irrigation, water treatment and desalination. “The Middle East is drying up,” says Osnat Gillor, a professor at the Zuckerberg Institute who studies the use of recycled wastewater on crops. “The only country that isn’t suffering acute water stress is Israel.” That water stress has been a major factor in the turmoil tearing apart the Middle East, but Bar-Zeev believes that Israel’s solutions can help its parched neighbors, too — and in the process, bring together old enemies in common cause.

Geographic Concepts: Spatial Significance, Geographic Perspective
brielle blais's curator insight, April 1, 2018 4:16 PM
This connects to the physical geography of Israel as it was once incredibly dry, facing a decade long drought. This ruined the agriculture sector of their economy as well, along with changing the people's way of life. However, desalination has saved the country, and Israel really had no other choice. Instead, the country is now a water giant, and has an overabundance through new technologies.
