Although Mr. Distel believes that the global decline in demand will affect the Israeli water industry – just as it does other aspects of the economy – there is an opposite and strong trend pointing toward an increased demand for solutions to increasing water production and optimizing its use, which will stabilize the current situation and ultimately generate growth in certain companies.

Why Israel?

The world's largest RO desalination plant
The world's most developed irrigation methods
The world's highest reused wastewater rate
The world's most advanced national water management system
The most environmentally friendly and cost effective solutions for MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) treatment, generating clean energy

Since Israel’s early days, the country’s water sector has been forced to provide its citizenry with advanced solutions. Situated in one of the world’s most arid regions, it was Israel that pioneered and leads the concepts of national water management, drip irrigation, recycling, purifying wastewater and water desalination.

Israel succeeds to recycle almost 75% of its wastewater and to deliver the decontaminated water to arid regions for irrigation, in place of artesian water suitable for human consumption and industrial use.

Lately the construction of several large desalination plants started in Israel, is aimed at preventing a long-run water deficit. The first plant is already successfully operating in the city of Ashkelon. Its 100 million m3 per year capacity makes it the world’s largest plant using the RO technology. In total, about 350 million m3 of water per year will be desalinated in Israel.
