“…Potential donors may provide equity, reducing the financial expenditures for the desalination project. For example, in the case of the Ashkelon desalination facility, 24% of the capital costs were sponsored [ 44 ]. Due to the anticipated high investment cost, we considered a share of sponsoring of 10% ( Table 3 ).…”

The Middle East will face tremendous water scarcity by 2050, which can only be mitigated by large-scale reverse osmosis seawater desalination. However, the coastal land in the region is rare and costly, so outsourcing the desalination facility to artificial islands could become a realistic scenario. This study investigated the ecological and economic challenges and possible advantages of that water supply option by analysing conceptual alternatives for offshore membrane-based desalination plants of up to 600 MCM/y capacity. Key environmental impacts and mitigation strategies were identified, and a detailed economic analysis was conducted to compare the new approach to state-of-the-art. The economic analysis included calculating the cost of water production (WPC) and discussing the differences between offshore alternatives and a conventional onshore desalination plant. In addition, the study investigated the impact of a changing energy mix and potential carbon tax levels on the WPC until 2050. The results indicate that offshore desalination plants have ecological advantages compared to onshore desalination plants. Furthermore, the construction cost for the artificial islands has a much lower effect on the WPC than energy cost. In contrast, the impact of potential carbon tax levels on the WPC is significant. The specific construction cost ranges between 287 $/m2 and 1507 $/m2 depending on the artificial island type and distance to the shoreline, resulting in a WPC between 0.51 $/m3 and 0.59 $/m3. This work is the first to discuss the environmental and economic effects of locating large-scale seawater desalination plants on artificial islands.

“…Water imports from elsewhere (such as Turkey) are possible but desalination is also of growing importance as costs have fallen. For example, the cost of water agreed upon recently for a new desalination plant in southern Israel was $US0.527 per cubic metre of water, with the plant to produce 100 million cubic metres of fresh water per year from Mediterranean water (Lokiec & Kronenberg, 2003). Desalination requires ready access to a source of saline water and so is a potential option for the Gaza Strip and Israel but not the West Bank.…”

Scenario Development for 2050 for the Israeli/Palestinian Water Sector

Scenario analysis suggests that by 2050 the population of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza will grow from its current 10 million to between 14 and 28 million. The scenarios developed are compared to available water resources and assessed for their viability. With all scenarios, except very high population growth in the context of inadequate co-operation between Israel and Palestine, the water resource needs of the entire population can be met. The analysis suggests that water need not be an obstacle to peace or economic development in the region.
