Algae Indicate Changes in Israeli Seawater
Microscopic algae and phytoplankton have spread off the Israeli coasts, leading to increased water turbidity in the sea and causing technical problems at water desalination plants. Experts confirmed that rising sea temperatures and climate change contribute to the proliferation of these algae, which could impair the efficiency of treatment systems and may result in temporary shutdowns of the plants if the issue worsens. Reports indicated that the spread of algae might be due to the movement of ocean currents and possibly their transfer from the Nile Delta region, especially since Israel heavily relies on seawater desalination to meet its water needs. This situation exposes the water sector to risks stemming from environmental changes.
