The second reason was this moment that he described to me where he was driving his car and the car in front of him exploded and, you know, shrapnel from the car busted through his windshield, injured his shoulder. And I think it was just too close of a call. So, you know, when he described that moment to me, he said three weeks later, he and his family, they were gone.

So the Palestinian Water Authority says that before the war, there were 306 groundwater wells as primary sources of water. They also have three desalination plants. They're situated along the coast.

So it's not an ideal system. You have a lot of moving parts. And the source water that you're starting with is already not a great starting point.
