NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TREATMENT
AND DESALINATION OF EFFLUENTS,
BRACKISH AND OTHER MARGINAL WATERS
3rd IDS Annual Conference
Final Announcement and Registration Form

99 Hayarkon St., Tel-Aviv
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TREATMENT
AND DESALINATION OF EFFLUENTS,
BRACKISH AND OTHER MARGINAL WATERS
Conference objectives
The aims of the 3rd IDS annual conference, dedicated to the subject
of
"New developments in the treatment and desalination of effluents,
brackish and other marginal waters", are:
To disseminate information on recently approved plans for utilizing
marginal waters
To examine the problems associated with the utilization of marginal
waters
To survey currently available advanced technologies for utilizing various
types of raw
waters
Conference background
The background to the Conference is the recent resolution of the
Israeli Government on
new large-scale programs designed to augment water resources by
recovery and reuse
of treated municipal wastewaters, rehabilitation of salinated and
contaminated wells and desalination of brackish and marginal water sources.
Some of these programs
complement and, in terms of implementation schedules, even precede
the widely publicized plan of establishing a 50 MCM a year seawater desalination
plant in
Ashkelon (the topic of last year's IDS Conference).
The common denominator of all these programs is that they deal with
waters containing high levels of dissolved matter. Utilization of these
waters without appropriate removal
of problematic components by desalination and other water purification
techniques,
would lead to severe hydrological, environmental, and in some cases,
also health
hazards.
The significance of these new programs will be appreciated by noting
that the quantities
of water involved and the budgets allocated for the projects vastly
exceed those of the large seawater desalination project. The water capacities
involved are of the order of
300 to 500 MCM a year, and the projected investments (and approved
budgets) are
over two hundred million NIS per year, for each of the coming ten
years.
Conference organization
The IDS Conference is organized under the auspices of the Water
Research Institute
of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and of the Center
for Water Science
and Technology of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The conference
chairman is Daniel Hoffman of Adan Technical Services.
The invited speakers, drawn from Israel and abroad, are foremost
experts in the
various aspects of the Conference subjects. Shimon Tal, the Israel
Government Water Commissioner, will deliver the opening lecture.
