Plant will be capable of producing 127 million per year of potable water.

Many experts point to the water supply as a major problem to be solved in this century, due to the increasing number of people on the planet. Because of it many wars have been fought over time, particularly in regions where it is scarce, as in the Middle East.
In 1967, Israel captured the Golan Heights to Syria during the Six Day War and defended his control over the territory in 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, although later a part of the hills has returned to Syria. In the 1970s, new Jewish settlements were established in the occupied area. The main reason the conflict is that the region of hills is one of the few where there is water supply.
Alternatives are studied around the globe to solve the problem and one of these starts to become viable: desalination of seawater.
The Israeli company IDE Technologies opened a new desalination of seawater that can provide much of the country consumes water for personal use. Located in the city of Hadera (northern Israel), the factory is the largest desalination plant by reverse osmosis (RO) of the world, capable of producing 127 million per year of potable water - water for one of every six Israelis.
The investments were approximately half a billion dollars. The IDE has built 400 desalination plants in 40 countries around the world. In all, they are able to produce two million cubic meters of water per day.
