Ducey in Israel for trade, water, security talks
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey is in Israel for five days of talks with political and business leaders of the Middle Eastern country. … Ducey has touted Israel’s water desalination technology as a way to augment Arizona’s supplies, which are endangered by long-term drought and climate change. He wants the state Legislature to approve a $1 billion investment for boosting the state’s water supply this year. Key to that plan is a desalination plant that could cost more than five times that amount.
