Algae Uncover Changes in Israeli Seawater
The proliferation of microscopic algae and phytoplankton off the Israeli coasts has led to increased water turbidity in the sea, causing technical problems at some seawater desalination plants. This threatens their efficiency and sometimes results in temporary shutdowns. This bloom is linked to climate change and rising water temperatures, which create favorable conditions for algae growth. It is particularly associated with the potential movement of algae from regions such as the Nile Delta via ocean currents. This issue presents a significant challenge for Israel, which relies heavily on desalination for its water supply, as ongoing problems could disrupt water availability and place additional pressure on the region's water sector.
