On May
16-th, 2010, Israel consortium unveiled officially the biggest of its kind
desalination station in the world. It works using the principle of reverse
osmosis and is placed near the coastal city of Hadera. The Israel Company H2ID,
jointly owned by IDE Technologies and Shikun & Binui, developed the
project. The station delivers 127mln cubic meters desalinated water, or nearly
20% of the annual consumption of households in Israel.
This is
the third of series of five stations for water desalination, which are expected
to be finished in the next few years. It is expect for them to deliver
approximately 750mln cubic meters water per year and it needs to be built
because the current water sources are getting insufficient or exhausted due to
the insufficient winter rainfalls and increment of human populations. The
station is financed mostly by foreign sources and nearly $425mln came from
European banks.
