Israel's water ninja

While I applaud Israel&#x27;s great water conservation and infrastructure efforts, it&#x27;s important not to forget the dirt under the rug...<p>Here&#x27;s a great visual on the water disparity between Palestinians and Israelis: <a href="http://visualizingpalestine.org/system/visual/en/VP-WB-Water-EN-20130321.jpg?2014" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;visualizingpalestine.org&#x2F;system&#x2F;visual&#x2F;en&#x2F;VP-WB-Water...</a><p>And another on the discriminatory water supply: <a href="http://www.btselem.org/water/discrimination_in_water_supply" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.btselem.org&#x2F;water&#x2F;discrimination_in_water_supply</a>

I love reading about &quot;big data&quot; projects that aren&#x27;t about marketing and advertising. This is particularly interesting to me with my latent environmental and overpopulation concerns. Fantastic article, good find.

Very interesting, I wonder what kinds of sensors and analysis are behind the software. It&#x27;s accuracy rate, detection speed and other things like that.<p>Would be really nice to work on this kind of stuff.

I always wonder, hearing these stories, if I should feel bad that my proximity to a natural reservoir of fresh water means that our muni water system is one of the most wasteful in the world. These people are performing Liet-Keynes levels of water conservation.

What the hell is going on in that graph? The West Bank is &quot;High-income&quot;? Yemen is &quot;High-income&quot;?

They should spare a drop for Gaza
