I said " Percolating (underground) water is a unique legal regime. ... ...Percolating waters are the "commons" - like wild animals and wild birds." which is far, far different then "Yr claim that ground water is not really owned by anyone is complete rubbish".

You also may want to peruse the "The legal status of Israeli riparian practices" in Dr. Isaac's paper.

While I haven't completely digested Dr. Isaac's paper, I do disagree with his dismissal of

The development of large-scale water projects has frequently been advocated by those who hold that there is an insufficient supply of water in the Jordan basin and western aquifers of Palestine and Israel. Many fantastic and creative schemes have been proposed for the enhancement of water supply, most notably the following:

* Large-scale desalinization projects, often linked with hydro-electric power generation: o Red Sea-Dead Sea conduit

o Mediterranean-Dead Sea conduit

It is a 1994 era paper -- and dialysis and phoresis technology has not been static for twelve years. (Dialysis and phoresis tools and technology are key to many NEW manufacturing proceses, therapies, and fuel cells - not static fields). While "Large-scale desalinization projects, often linked with hydro-electric power generation" may have been less feasible twelve years ago - they certainly appear more feasible today.

PS - Do all you want with "Dialysis and phoresis" - I studied in that area with John O'M Bockris who was at Flinders for many years.
