Water makes up 80% of our body mass and covers over two-thirds of the surface of the earth, but most of us still know very little about it. Do we know what the potential of Israel\u2019s natural water sources is? How is seawater desalinated and how much desalination currently takes place in Israel? What are Israel\u2019s water agreements with her neighbors? What does our drinking water contain? How are waves formed in the ocean and how do waves impact surfers and structures at sea and on the coast? How do submarines work?<\/strong><\/p>\n Answers to these and many other science and technology questions were shared\u00a0at the 2014 Researchers\u2019 Night at Technion on September 18.<\/p>\n Each year, the Technion invites the public to participate in Researchers\u2019 Night \u2013 a celebration of science and research for the whole family, sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Science, Technology and Space and the European Union. Researchers\u2019 Night also\u00a0takes place in some 300 cities throughout Europe and Israel.<\/p>\n The 2014 Researchers\u2019 Night at the Technion included various scientific exhibits and activities appropriate for all ages. Participants were able to taste seawater before and after desalination, build and sail a paper boat, closely examine how an underwater robot works, learn how submarines work, learn how to identify and handle water pollution, and enjoy a myriad of lectures, demonstrations and activities for the whole family. Activities were\u00a0also provided for younger family members.<\/p>\n Researchers\u2019 Night at the Technion is intended for children, youth and adults ages 9 to 99. Anyone who is curious about water science and technology is invited to participate and learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Water makes up 80% of our body mass and covers over two-thirds of the surface of the earth, but most of us still know very little about it.
