WATEC Israel 2007

The issue of water and environmental technologies is gaining an increasingly central place in the world’s consciousness and economy. About 2 billion people around the world either lack access to sufficient quantities of water, or are supplied with water unfit for drinking. This shortage is going to worsen in the near future due to the rise of world’s population and to the redistribution of water recourses among the world’s regions, which in turn stems from the global warming.

Why Israel?

Based on its accumulated experience, Israel is poised to play a major role in supplying the world with cutting-edge water and environmental solutions.

• 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 advanced solar technologies on the international market for water heating and electricity generation
• The most environmentally friendly and cost effective solutions for MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) treatment, generating clean energy
• The best technology to reduce air pollution from stack eliminating particles as well as SOx & NOx
