Desalination plant shutdown exposes precarious water reserves

Israel's water reserves have been exposed as precarious following a desalination plant shutdown. According to Globes English, the crisis was triggered by algae-induced turbidity, which is now naturally dwindling.

The shutdown has highlighted the fragile state of Israel's groundwater levels and the Kinneret.

There is also a separate development in Ghana, where the government is negotiating to purchase the Teshie Desalination Plant from Befesa Desalination Developments Ghana Ltd at a lower price than the amount sought in arbitration, as reported by Ghana Business News. The purchase aims to ensure the state fully owns the plant and guarantees continued water supply to about one million residents in eastern Accra.
