#2 1000 litres a day? That is one fricking cubic _meter_!!!!

This is not project for supplying drinking water, this is a _scam_ aimed at getting funds from the Paleo government or more exactly from the western tax payer. Paleos have had sixty seven years to live from their work. Not a cent more.

#3 I can not understand why they need to create such a high tech (and expensive) solution.

When I was living in the Virgin Islands in the 70's they desalinized seawater by running it through sand. This got enough of the salt out so that the water was drinkable. It was also a lot cheaper than what they are proposing.

#4 I've seen that done on a larger scale in several places too, Al.

Problem here might be trying to find sand that you would want to use and that's actually sort of clean.

#6 Gee, I wonder what the Israelis would grow in Gazoo if they were in control. Seems IIRC that there were productive greenhouses and such not that long ago.

#7 Yes they wer. The Isralis let them behind so the Gazoos would have means of existence. Then the Gazoos set them fore and came tio us asking for money. They even threatened us with acts of terrorism in case we didn't gave it to them.

#8 Maybe they can get a grant if they can tie the problem to man-made global climate change.

#9 Hindi says they are seeking $300 million (274 million euros) to build a water treatment plant that has a much greater capacity.

I was wondering how they were gonna pay for it. And, as the usual answer is, they aren't!

#11 "I'm just not sure we can justify that kind of money for a project with this risk."

"What if we threw water balloons at the jews, ice balloons when we can make them."

"Get me pictures of kids getting shot, and its $500 million."

"Deal. Mahmud, call your cousin, tell him we have an order for 50 Quassam rock...errr five kilometers of portable water piping, see?"
