Water for Israel
The Water Crisis in Israel

http://www.cnfowater.com/water_for_israel.html

"Israel's water economy is on the brink of a crisis," reports the Israel ministry of foreign affairs. Demand and consumption are increasing, exceeding the capacity of the natural resources, which are being depleted. Water quality in the sources is deteriorating, due to over-exploitation and intensive human activity.

Centriforce has its roots in the acquisition of Ocean Transformation Technologies, an Israeli corporation developing a new, low energy, desalination technology. As a result, the heart of our business focus is to address the water needs of Israel. Water becomes a security issues much has oil has worldwide when supply falls below the levels needed to sustain the activities of the nation's population.

We are dedicated to increasing Israel's security by increasing its access to this critical commodity using our new technology.

The Ministry of National Infrastructure in Israel has decided to, "increase considerably the supply of potable water, mainly through seawater desalination and purification of water sources." See, www.israel-mfa.gov.

Water is a scarce commodity in Israel. The country is situated in an arid zone and the natural resources are insufficient to meet the ever-rising demand. The necessity to use water in a rationing regime was first enacted in the 1950's Water Law. The Water Law did away with private ownership of water resources [infrastructure such as desalination plants can be privately owned, however] and established an allocation mechanism for water that has earned the respect of nations around the world.

Israel's Water Law is based on the following principals:

* That water resources are the property of the public and that there is no private ownership of water resources;
* That every person has the right to a water allocation for recognized purposes;
* That the overall quantity of available water is scarce and that a prioritization process has to take place;
* That attempts must be made to increase the water quantities available for utilization by the consumers
* While the water source itself cannot be the subject of private ownership, water production, pumping, desalination and equipment may, and is in many cases, privately owned. Thus, once water is allocated the water is brought to the end user through the private sector

Water Commission Desalination Activities

Desalination processes enable the nation to produce water from saline and/or contaminated raw water sources. In the past few years, the Israel Water Commission initiated and supported, on a large scale, three types of desalination projects to generate new water supply sources.

1. Salinized and/or contaminated well water desalination;
2. Brackish water desalination;
3. Seawater desalination.
