With all the twists and turns on water by mudland, time to acquire Israel’s technology that enable them to desalinate the seawater “at a low cost”
- Thread starter ginfreely
- Start date
JERUSALEM, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Israel is expected by 2022-2023 to be probably the first country in the world to depend fully on desalination plants to meet its population drinking water need.
Nowadays Israel is already producing around 600 million cubic meters of desalinated water equal to about 70-80 percent of the country's tap drinking water demand.
Israel is a leading country in using desalinated water, started in 2005 with a capacity of 20 million cubic meters, and since then, the amount increases every year.
Israel is practicing cutting-edge technology to produce high-quality drinking water out of the endless Mediterranean seawater, using a process called reverse osmosis.
Jacky Ben Yaish, the VP Engineering of Israeli water desalination company IDE Technologies, told Xinhua that "our technology enables us to desalinate the seawater at a low cost with low energy consumption but still to make very pure drinking water."
IDE Technologies desalinate 70 percent of Israeli consumption of artificial water and considers itself a leader in Israeli and worldwide desalination and water treatment market.
In Israel, IDE built three desalination plants and one of them is the biggest in the world. IDE as well exports their technology across the globe.
"We have desalination plants in China, the United States, Australia and much more countries. We will also desalinate sewage around the world in a high scale as climate change worsens," Ben Yaish said.
Although Israel has the technology, it is still not clear whether it will desalinate as well its sewage to pure drinkable water in the future. Nowadays Israel reuses all of its effluents primarily for agricultural irrigation.

Although Israel has the technology, it is still not clear whether it will desalinate as well its sewage to pure drinkable water in the future. Nowadays Israel reuses all of its effluents primarily for agricultural irrigation.
Moshe Garazi, director of a regulation division at Israeli Water Authority said "it is a more sustainable and water saving solution to treat the water we already used anyway, and it is flowing in our sewage pipes."
Israel is the leading country in the world using 86 percent of its effluents, followed by Spain with only 17 percent, according to Israeli Water Authority.
Garazi said desalination of sewage has not started yet. "It will be challenging to convince the public to drink water from the sewage pipes."
Some water experts in Israel said as the population grows in the future, the arid country will have no choice but to desalinate the sewage as well.
Israel is located in one of the driest places in the world, where drinking water is in great shortage, and yet it succeeded in the last decade to overcome this obstacle by securing enough tap water for its population.
It took Israel almost 70 years since its establishment to be confident in having enough drinking water. It tried several ways to ensure a constant supply of water.
Over the years, Israel developed sophisticated irrigation techniques that saved a lot of water. It also convinced the population with media campaigns to use less water for private consumption.
However, it is the desalination solution that made it possible for the hot Mediterranean country to become rich in water.
Israel started to desalinate water in a small scale in the 1960s in the southern part of the country where the national tap water pipes did not reach.
Just in the last two decades, five massive desalination plants built throughout the country's Mediterranean coastline made the real change.
Meanwhile, the environmentalists are concerned with the pollution from the plants, as it is planned that in the next four to five years, another two big desalination factories will be built in Israel, with more expected in the future.
High energy consumption of the desalination factories causes air pollution. The process of desalination also produces side product of saline effluent discharged back to the sea.
Moreover, experts believe that there will be long-term health impact of artificial water stripped of all natural minerals.
Avner Adin, former chairman of Israeli Drinking Water Quality Committee, said in an interview with Xinhua that he realized the importance of evaluating the health impact of the desalinated water.
"We was the first in the world to establish criteria for safe desalinated water quality for drinking and to prevent pipe corrosion, and today all the desalination plants must comply with this regulation," Adin said.
One of the conclusions of the committee was that four essential minerals are lacking in the desalinated water, which are magnesium, iodine, fluorine, and calcium.
Today, only calcium is added back to the water in the process, while fluorine is not added because of financial reasons, and it is still controversial about the necessity of iodine and magnesium.
Lack of magnesium in the tap water is raising the highest concern among the public, and Israeli Ministry of Health is mulling over a pilot test of the possibility regarding artificial enrichment of magnesium in the desalinated water.
Yona Amitai, a professor at Bar Ilan University, also an expert in toxicology and public health, expressed deep concern about drinking desalinated seawater without magnesium.
"Magnesium is essential to people's health. It is responsible for more than 300 metabolic processes in our body, 20 percent of the magnesium intake should be consumed from the water and 80 percent from the food," said Amitai.
The professor said his research showed that the lack of certain minerals in the drinking water could raise the risk of heart attack, reporting an increase of heart diseases in places where people drink desalinated seawater.
The desalinated water lacking in minerals is partly used also in the Israeli agricultural irrigation, and it makes the magnesium shortage even greater, Amitai said.

LOL sinkies only care for their hdb expiring in 50 or 60 years time but not the water agreement expiring much earlier.
Can PAP tell concerned Singaporeans what they going to do about the expiring water agreement like what they promised hdb sinkies Vers twenty years before expiry?
Is the world going into a water crisis? It certainly seems that way. The U.S. government predicts that by 2025, 60 percent of the world’s landmass, and 40 of our 50 U.S. states will experience water shortages— some of them extreme. The U.S. intelligence community sees worldwide water shortages as a major national security risk. Water scarcity helped trigger the Syrian civil war and has been a key reason why Africans have migrated in large numbers to Europe. More of this can be expected. But there is cause for optimism. And it comes from a very unlikely place—a country in the middle of a desert. That country is Israel. Compelled by necessity and powered by remarkable technological innovations, Israel has become the world’s water superpower. By reusing waste water, by making desalination affordable, by rethinking irrigation, and by developing an array of sophisticated water conservation techniques, Israel not only has a sufficiency of water, but an abundance of it. What Israel has done, other nations can do, too, including its Mideast neighbors. And while it’s a lot to hope for, cooperation on water issues could become the basis for cooperation on other issues as well. For Israel, an obsession with water is not new. The word “water” appears 600 times in the Hebrew Bible. For over 2,000 years daily prayers for rain in the land of Israel have been a part of traditional Jewish ritual. For the founders of the modern State of Israel, water was not only a daily concern, but a paramount question of future survival. Vast quantities of water would be needed for the millions of immigrants who would make their way to the new country. Without plenty of water, economic growth would be impossible. But where was the water going to come from? It was a daunting challenge, but one which Israel overcame. Today, while other nations, even ones with far more natural water resources, struggle with water management, Israel has a surplus of useable water. The desert, as Israel’s founders dreamed, is blooming. Not only does the country supply its own population with an array of fruits and vegetables, but it exports billions of dollars worth of produce to nations around the world. So, how does a small country with little annual rainfall, with only one freshwater lake, and with no major rivers do this? It begins with a nothing-wasted attitude that extends from the government to private industry to farming to consumers. Israel charges its citizens the market price for water—no subsidies. You can have as much water as you want, but you have to pay for it. And when you pay for something, you tend to be more careful with how you use it.
KNN puki sg born malaysian bitch malaysia news again KNN
Israel the best when it comes to creating something out of nothing!
Puki is you ccb Malaysian whore with lowlife character telling ccb lies of me everywhere and pretending to be a sinkie!
And this is positive creation and not negative creation like ccb Malaysians creating ccb lies of me. Compare only Malaysians really Sia suay.
They are thinking of importing ice berg using their oil money.

When you got unlimited money from warminger america how much cost also not a problem
Singaporeans can stop to dream on exploiting Malaysian Resources and rely on Malaysian resources to survive or get rich. Malaysian are now SMARTER & STRONGER than Singaporean Pee Sai Bapoks. Singapore must perish. Stop dreaming also about Israel. Israel is finished. American can not longer cover Israeli ass, and it will get destroyed by Russia via Syria or by the Arabs. It is power vacuum left by diminished American power now, Middle-East are settling among themselves about who is new boss and suckers. Main competition now is to settle between Golden Escalator & Iran see who will lead Arabs. Once that is settled, the new Arab leader will lead Arabs to finish off Israel which definitely will be made the sucker and the bastard that everyone want to punish and eliminate. No Ang Moh can cover Jews ass anymore. They can not even cover their own ass, e.g. from Kim Jong Nuke or Putin or ISIS or China.
Israel would be nothing without the hundreds of billions of US aid.
