This is the first time that an Israeli water delegation (government and private) has come to Bengaluru. This delegation is targeted towards leading Indian water tech companies seeking to expand their business in Israel and global markets. The visiting Israeli delegates specialize in advanced water solutions in drinking water, waste water treatment, water disinfection desalination, oil & gas, ballast water, industrial applications, lift irrigation projects and odor control. Israelis are best in the world when it comes to agriculture, IT, new water technologies and security. 80 percent of water is recycled in Israel. We invented the drip irrigation which is by regulation in Karnataka compulsory for sugarcane production.
