> The Water Authority has started channeling desalinated water to the Sea of Galilee, marking the first ever attempt anywhere in the world top up a freshwater lake with processed seawater.
>
> The groundbreaking project, years in the making and a sign of both Israel’s success in converting previously unusable water into a vital resource and the rapidly dropping water levels in the country’s largest freshwater reservoir, was quietly inaugurated on October 23.
>
> The desalinated water enters the Sea of Galilee via the the seasonal Tsalmon Stream, entering at the Ein Ravid spring, some four kilometers (2.5 miles) northwest of what is Israel’s emergency drinking source.
>
> Firas Talhami, who is in charge of the rehabilitation of water sources in northern Israel for the Water Authority, told The Times of Israel that he expected the project to raise the lake’s level by around 0.5 centimeters (0.2 inches) per month.
>
> The move has also reactivated the previously dried-out spring, allowing visitors to once again paddle down the Tsalmon, which now flows with desalinated water.
Iran need this.
Edit: I meant Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran wants one. Now Israel has this water solution, Iran wants one. So chill guys
I wonder if there are any plans to do Dead Sea. Not as important a drinking source obviously, but I don’t think they want it to run totally dry either.
This is great, but I wish they would do something to restore the Dead Sea before it’s gone.
The question is how much energy this takes, and what the source of that energy is. This is why we need a worldwide push for fusion power. It would open up so many possibilities, including reversing climate change.
It grinds my gears that if all the Arab countries would finally chill and let Israel be and do business with them and hire their engineers the Jews could help them turn desert in oasis, all would profit. But nah, m-book says j-people bad. But they are not, they are awesome
What’s happening with the Sea of Galilee? Why is its level falling?
How long until we realize desalination plants are just further killing our environments?
It seems like if there’s not enough water in a place, maybe we shouldn’t be living there…
So this is just a straight middle finger to Iranian leadership right? Not that they don’t deserve it for horribly mismanaging their water.
Ah some good news from that region, hurray!
This is great, let’s do more of this and less blowing up Palestinians, please.
Utah and the Great Salt Lake needs this.
Perception is everything:
• ½cm per month … doesn’t seem like a lot.
• 1000m^3 per **hour** … seems like a helluvalot!
Kudos to Isr for sharing with their neighbors.
