Israel’s new chemical-free desalination facility, allows a cheaper and more eco-friendly production of drinking water, according to its developers. The transportable system could soon be producing as much as half of the country’s domestic water needs.

+ add your ownIsrael seems like a very progressive, amazing country. :)
That's pretty cool. They should have more of these facilities.
rene d, With oceans rising, we need not worry about the possible loss of our oceans, at least in terms of ocean levels, the real problem lies in the growing degree of acidity. Desalting ocean water only hastens the fact, since we return the salts to the ocean.
Imagine this, you have 111.85 miles (180 Km) of coast line, you install a series of desal station, perhaps, 200 of them. What is the possible result...a dead zone, with acid level that are off the scale. Oh, those stated miles are the length of the coast of Occupied Palestine, sorry, I meant Israel.
So where does these leave us...pondering man's impact on his environment? Just as we should have done, so many decades ago.
noted-thanks
1st we kill everything in the sea, now we are going to end up drinking the it dry, good one.
Superb idea!
As the population grows and the climate crises heats up further, I believe desalinization will become more and more nessasary-sic- and I just hope we invest heavily into renewables in order to run them.
This is great. Good question Rose
very interesting. thanks.
I hope this is ecologically friendly but what does happen to the salt that's removed?
