This story was shot in July 2010. It explores whether seawater desalination - which Israeli heavily invests in - is a sustainable solution to the water shortage in the Middle East.
The story was shot for the Video Journalist Movement (http://www.vjmovement.com/truth/713) and also aired in Yermi Brenner's blog (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/yermi-brenner/is-desalination-the-answe_b_678968.­html).

  • מה אם אתה להסיט את התמלחת לים המלח?

  • I rofled when the narrator said that there were no real effects on sea life from the desalinisation plants. You hear the DUMB SHIT environmentalist saying that the highly salty water coming out could harm sea life, which everybody knows but, as usual, no proof, no study of the quantities implied in the process which she has no friggin idea if it is of any significance.

  • would biochar act as a filtering agent for storm water run off into catch basins during the rainy seasons?more water catchment systems would be a good idea so the big plant wouldn't have to run so much if rainwater was harvested for crop usage wouldn't it?then again I don't know what or how high the salt content is in the soil there either so I am just asking and not trying to assume anything.good video,i'm going to try to learn more on this.
