World Bank provides extra funding for emergency sewage treatment
The World Bank has agreed additional funding for the North Gaza emergency sewage treatment project. The proposed additional financing will support the original objectives of the project, which are to mitigate the immediate and gathering health and environmental safety threats to the communities surrounding the effluent lake at the Beit Lahiya wastewater treatment plant, and to provide a satisfactory solution to the treatment of wastewater for the Northern Governorate of Gaza. The overall project design and components will remain unchanged.

MIDDLE EAST: Academic institutions work together to address West Bank water issues
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev’s Dr Moshe Herzberg and Professor Mohammed Saleem Ali-Shtayeh of the Biodiversity and Environmental Research Center (BERC) in Nablus have received a significant grant to increase the clean water supply around Israel and the Middle East. This study brings together Israelis and Palestinians to address clean water issues in the West Bank area of Nablus over a five-year period. The US-AID MERC grant for $659,500 will address biofouling of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes during reclamation of secondary wastewater. The researchers are planning to characterise and eventually find novel ways to eradicate the various biofilms that grow on RO membranes.

Price compromise in sight for Ashdod desal project
|
|
Mekorot has proposed a compromise off-take price of NIS 2.55/m3 for water from the planned 274,000m3/d desalination plant at Ashdod, following discussions with the Israeli government’s inter-ministerial desalination committee.
The price is more than 30 agorot lower than the NIS 2.86/m3 originally offered by Mekorot, but is still higher than the NIS 2.36/m3 the government committee agreed to pay in December.
“We can live with the price and meet our contractual commitments to Mekorot with the lower price,” a senior official representing the winning consortium told GWI. He added that Minrav and its Spanish partner Sadyt have 24 months to complete the project once they are given the green light by Mekorot. The Minrav official said the plant could still be up and running by the end of 2012.
The Israeli cabinet has sent Mekorot’s compromise proposal back to the committee with a two-week deadline for a decision.

Soreq Desalination Plant
|
|
Prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu said at a weekly cabinet meeting that the seawater reverse-osmosis plant, which will be sited south of Tel Aviv, will supply 150 million m³/year. "That's about a quarter of the shortfall of water in the state of Israel each year," he added.
The plant will cost about ILS 2 billion (US$ 525 million) and is scheduled to come on line in 2013. It will eventually expand to 300 million m³/year.
Sorek Desalination Ltd, a joint venture between IDE Technologies and Hutchison Water, owns the project.
