- ksec 10y agoThat is the 2nd most interesting point i want to hear more about. And yet the article does not go into any details.
- Xyz9292929 10y agoEverything you wanted to know and VERY interesting :) http://www.smartpeoplepodcast.com/2015/10/26/episode-214-seth-siegel/ http://www.smartpeoplepodcast.com/2015/10/26/episode-214-set... tldr; water was used as an excuse by the British to limit immigration to Israel, so from the earliest onset of the formation of Israel, Israel has been trying to tackle the problem of water use inefficiency.
- dubyah 10y agoThose numbers are only for percentage of treated sewage used for irrigation, not percentage of total reclaimed water from sewage. To be fair, Israel doesn't practice potable reuse at all, compared to Singapore, Windhoek in Namibia, GWRS in Orange County, or Big Spring in Texas(direct potable reuse).
