Israel: Leading the World in Water Technology

Submitted by Paul Monheimer - Middle School Faculty member

Water seems to becoming a scarce resource for some parts of the planet. Population, Pollution and climate all have strong and effects on the water cycle. Science and technology have joined forces to make desalination plants more efficient and more cost effective. A great video, two things to look for: they made the water so pure that in the end they have to add something to make it palatable and it piqued my interest when on of the engineers stated that the desalination industry is going to boom because of the Asian market. Find out why.

  1. Wow. I am consistently impressed with Israel's leadership in the sciences. The more public role Israel has taken is medicine. Their leadership in cancer research and the Haitian crisis is really inspiring, and I am very proud of Medinat Yisrael for everything this 62-year-old nation has accomplished in such a short time.
