When completed, most drinking water supplied to Israel's residents from Hadera southwards – in other words, most of the country's population – would come from desalinated seawater. [ 19 ] By 2014, Israel's desalination programs provided roughly 35% of Israel's drinking water and it is expected to supply 40% by 2015 and 70% by 2050. [ 20 ]
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]
The median cost of producing desalinated water is "in the neighborhood of $2,000 an acre-foot," he said. ... and noted that it has already proved viable in Australia and Israel, which gets nearly ...
[42] [43] Israel sells a limited part of the water to the Palestinians in Gaza. [52] While Israel transports water from the north of its territory to the south, the Palestinians are not allowed to move water from the West Bank to Gaza.

Israel and Jordan moved one step closer Tuesday to realizing a pivotal cross-border resource exchange — signing a memorandum of understanding on the sidelines of the United Nations climate ...
However, at that time only 850,000,000–900,000,000 cubic metres (8.5 × 10 11 –9.0 × 10 11 L) was available. The shortage was attributed to poor rains, climate change, a ballooning population and a high refugee influx. [3] To mitigate its water shortfall, the Jordanian government opened a desalination plant in 2017.
The president spoke with Netanyahu six times, and once each with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (who has no real authority over Gaza) and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
