Israel Solves Water Woes With Desalination
2014-05-31
[Ynet] Agressive desalination program has transformed perennially parched land into perhaps the most well-hydrated country in the region.

After experiencing its driest winter on record, Israel is responding as never before - by doing nothing.

While previous droughts have been accompanied by impassioned public service advertisements to conserve, this time around it has been greeted with a shrug - thanks in large part to an aggressive desalination program that has transformed this perennially parched land into perhaps the most well-hydrated country in the region.

#8  Take the brine and let it flow to the Dead Sea. You will start replenishing the water level. On the way down it can generate electricity could be generated. A twofer.

#7  They should dispose of the brine residue down the Paleostinian smuggling tunnels. Like a giant septic system. Kill a lot of birds with one stone.
