Microalgae Bloom Disrupts Israel Desalination
A large microalgae bloom along Israel’s Mediterranean coast temporarily shut down five of its six major desalination plants, threatening the country’s primary water source. The bloom, believed to have originated from the Nile Delta and driven by unusual environmental conditions, caused damage to filtration membranes and disrupted water production during a peak demand period. Authorities responded by activating alternative water sources, but the incident highlights vulnerabilities in reliance on desalination technology amid climate change and environmental threats.
