[20] In recent years, Israel's annual use of water from the Sea of Galilee has shrunk from 513 million cubic meters (in 2001–2002) to just 25 million cubic meters (2018–19) as desalinated water ...
Once unthinkable, given Israel's history of drought and lack of available fresh water resources, with desalination Israel can now produce a surplus of fresh water. [56] By 2014, Israel's desalination programs provided roughly 35% of Israel's drinking water, about 50% in 2015, and it is expected to supply 70% by 2050. [57]
Desalination is one technology that is being used to solve water scarcity around the world. Israel is a leader in this field. Israel currently has five operation desalination plants. [5] The oldest, the Ashelkon Plant (which began operation in 2005) can produce up to 120 million cubic meters of potable water in one year.
Still, Mitchell said he thinks desalination has a place in California’s water portfolio,and noted that it has already proved viable in Australia and Israel, which gets nearly 90% of its drinking ...

In response, Israel has used desalinated water for 60-80% of Israel's drinking water supply. This effort has placed Israel as a leading nation in desalination processes. [ 44 ] Israel's main source of water is the upper Jordan River. [ 41 ]
A sand-mining company had operated on the coast of Marina, Calif., until late 2020. A controversial desalination project is now seeking to break ground on this site.
