Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Lakes are drying up everywhere. Israel will pump water from the Med as a solution
Europe, the USA, and China are all experiencing extreme heat and severe drought (Vol.3787). As global warming accelerates and extreme weather conditions become more frequent, water security is becoming a critical issue in many parts of the world. Water resource is scarce, especially in the Middle East and Israel is no exception. So, the country has been desalinating seawater from the Mediterranean Sea to make it drinkable. In fact, there are five such desalination plants that are capable of providing almost all the tap water for the nation’s nine million population. They are mainly used to fill the freshwater lake when the water level is low. Also, Israel exports drinkable water to its neighbor Jordan. In return, Jordan is developing more solar power plants to generate electricity to run Israel’s desalination plants more cleanly. Sounds like a green deal between the two neighboring countries.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about Israel’s forward-looking approach to securing water resources.
