The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...announced Thursday that it had completed construction of the largest solar energy field in Gazoo, which will power the Southern Gazoo Desalination Plant, providing water to residents of the coastal enclave.
The desalination plant currently provides clean water to 75,000 inhabitants of Khan Younis and Rafah. The new energy field’s output of 0.5 megawatts and further investment from the EU will increase the output, so that it will provide drinking water to 250,000 people in Southern Gazoo by 2020, the EU said.
Johannes Hahn, the EU commissioner for European neighborhood policy and enlargement negotiations, said that electricity shortages create a serious challenge to providing Gazooks with water.
He said that improving living conditions for the people of Gazoo will lead to "mitigating tensions in a highly conflict sensitive area."
The EU is also working on other projects to ease the water crisis in Gazoo. These include supporting an Oxfam plan to rehabilitate brackish desalination plants; working to reduce the amount of water that leaks out of the system, currently a staggering 40 percent;
| ...reducing leakage alone would be like doubling production for practically no additional investment... |
| Did anyone think of de-pooifying the poo ponds? Lots of potable water there, and the residue could be sterilized for use as fertilizer or a traditional fuel for the sentimental. Not to mention how much better those neighbourhoods would smell. |
The Gazoo Strip suffers from a serious shortage in sanitation services, electric power, and drinking water. Its problems have been made worse by an ongoing rift between the West Bank-based Paleostinian Authority and its rival, the terror group Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede,, which seized control of Gazoo in 2007.
Additionally, Israel and Egypt are imposing a sea blockade on the territory that they said is designed to prevent arms smuggling by Gazoo terror groups. Goods arrive at Israeli ports, where they are screened for weapons or military-capable material, and then transferred to Gazoo.
Israel says Hamas, the terror group that controls the coastal enclave and seeks to destroy Israel, has diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in international financial aid and materials toward building its military forces and infrastructure.
