DESALINATION. Though Israel-which gets little or no rain for up to eight months of the year-draws much of its water from the Jordan River, it also gets part of its supply from the sea. Israeli desalination plants now desalt 3 million cubic meters (7.8 billion gal.) of sea water every year. The cost is high ($1 per cubic meter), but the Israelis have little choice. In Saudi Arabia, where cost is no object, the government has embarked on a $12 billion program that will enable it to desalt 2.3 billion liters (600 million...
...most promising prospects for creating a major new industry lies in the sea. If U.S. scientists can develop a practical, economic way to desalt sea water, they will not only ease such regional problems as drought, but will generate demand for many kinds of machines and human skills. While more than 200 desalting plants are already operating around the world, including nine in the U.S., they have yet to surmount one vexing problem: cost. The desalting plants have been unable to produce fresh water for much less than $1 per 1,000 gal., which may be economical in a parched...

Just how would all this be done? Never mind the details, said Lyndon in effect. Just think positively. "All we need to do now," he cried, "is to go around and talk about positive things. About...
...extra ingredient of glamour: a unique or fascinating product, or even the possibility of developing one. Born of an age of rockets and missiles, their companies bear such intriguing names as Itek (information classification), Haloid Xerox (office copying), Transitron (transistors), Ampex (tape recorders). Ionics (electrically charged filters that desalt water), and High Voltage Engineering (electronu-clear machines...
