    As part of the seminar series during the expo, the head of Israel Economic and Trade Office, Doron Hemo, discussed “Israel’s Water Revolution” on March 27, 2015. He discussed Israel’s technology ecosystem and ingenuity that made it a global leader in the water arena.
     
    The participating Israeli companies also introduced their solutions related to water distribution and management, water and wastewater treatment, desalination, water safety and security.
     
    Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has placed great emphasis on maximizing its water supply, famously turning much of its arid land into fertile agricultural soil. Today, the Israeli water industry is recognized as a global leader in the water arena, thanks to breakthrough technological innovations in areas such as desalination, drip irrigation and water security. The areas of expertise of Israeli companies in the water arena include: water management; water for agriculture; water treatment; desalination; water safety and security; water IT and communications.
