- The Project aims at producing 65 MCM/year of
Desalinated Water and discharging 235 MCM/year of Mixed Water to the Dead Sea.
- The 235 MCM/year discharge to the Dead Sea is a
mix of Brine Water from the Desalination Plant with Red Sea Water.
- Of the 65 MCM/year of Desalinated Water produced,
30 MCM/year is to be supplied to the Jordanian Delivery Point and 35 MCM/year to the Border Delivery Point.

- Plus exchange (sale) of other water to the north of
Israel to Jordan; also water to be provided to the Palestinian Authority

- Obvious differences between the regions, particularly
with respect to land availability, legal and regulatory framework, and politics
- Israel has overcome many obstacles and “problems”
– Drought a key driver
- Role of the private sector in financing
- There are significant opportunities to “compare notes”
when looking for solutions to water management challenges
- Addressing water issues across borders is of importance
- I have many contacts there, some of whom come to the
US quite often
- Opportunities to travel there
