Is it a waste to drill for water in the desert?

Drilling for water anywhere can be a waste of time if you use by-guess-and-by-golly methods to figure out where to drill. Science makes it much more probable that you'll find water. Using the Sahara as an example, there are sandstone formations under parts of th desert that are rich sources of water. These areas have been mapped and can be exploited. They have been known since the 1800's and writen about in Popular Science Monthly Volume 16 February 1880 (1880) Artesian Wells and the Great Sahara by Seaton Schroeder

Why do gerbils produce very little urine?

They are desert animals and their bodies have adapted to extracting most of the water from their food. In the wild, they don't have access to water all the time and the food they eat very often isn't that moist. So producing urine is a waste of water and they have reduced it to a minimum. That's an adaption you will find in many desert animals.

Why does Israel treat and reuse industrial waste-water?

Because we don't have an excess of water. Israel is a largely arid country and is (most of the time) struggling against water-shortage. You can be assured that your tap water here in Israel is safe. Municipalities test the drinking water every day, as required by law, to ensure the safety of the populace.Also, just like in America, treated waste-water is used only for agriculture, not for drinking.See also:Growing crops in the Israeli desertIsrael's flora
