Israel launches tenders for desalination, solar power plants – Israel The inter-ministerial tenders committees for seawater desalination and solar power plants invited companies to declare their interest in establishing a new desalination facility in the Western Galilee and a large power plant near Dimona on Wednesday. The publication of pre-qualification tender forms for the construction and operation of the desalination plant, located north of Acre, follows the governmentâs approval of a strategic plan in June 2018 to cope with the impact of long-term drought. The plant will be capable of producing [âŠ] Israel launches tenders for desalination, solar power plants – IsraelHIWI042020-01-23T14:41:03+01:00
Desalination plant evacuated near Kouris river – Cyprus Disaster was averted last week after the Sovereign Base Area Police and its partners from within the Republic of Cyprus managed to divert the overflowing Kouris river away from the nearby desalination plant, potentially saving lives and averting an environmental issue. The police were called last Wednesday by the general manager of the plant who reported the water from the overflowing Kouris Dam had caused the river to rise to three metres in some places and was on a direct collision course with the plant.

As reservoirs fill, desalination plants go into overdrive – Cyprus Itâs been the rainiest January in 30 years with water pouring into the islandâs reservoirs, yet rather than this being an opportunity to decrease dependence on costly and environmentally unsustainable desalination plants, by Friday we were raising their operation to full capacity. As the torrential rainfall that marked the first half of the week caused a number of islandâs reservoirs to overflow, it also brought about violent seas which led to the obstruction of the desalination plant systems, resulting in water cuts on Thursday and Friday [âŠ] As reservoirs fill, desalination plants go into overdrive – CyprusHIWI042019-01-21T05:28:49+01:00
Searching for clean water in Gaza – Gaza There is no simple narrative about water and sanitation in the State of Palestine. Itâs one about Gaza, the West Bank, and multiple contexts within each. But for a child â or a family â itâs access to safe water and sanitation that ultimately matters. Thatâs why, after three years working in the State of Palestine, I wanted to reflect on the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) story and what UNICEF and partners are doing within the complex challenges.

EU builds photovoltaic energy field to power Southern Gaza Desalination Plant.-Gaza The EU has completed the construction of the biggest photovoltaic energy field in Gaza, Palestine, which will fuel the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant. The Southern Gaza Desalination Plant was funded by the EU and currently provides safe, clean drinking water for 75,000 inhabitants of Gaza. Now powered by the new photovoltaic energy field, and the external investments it is expected to generate, the plant could provide water for more than 250,000 people in Gaza by 2020. Â (LINK).
