$(Microsoft PowerPoint - Israel \226 Where ... - Invest in Israel$

Water is an extremely precious commodity in Israel. The landscape there provides the perfect environment for researching and developing water technologies in ‘realworld’ conditions and then marketing and selling them globally. Dr. Roger Radke, CEO of the Water Technologies Division of Siemens Israel’s Water Achievements Highlighted Israel, with a 75% water recycling rate, is the world’s number one water recycler. The second largest water recycler is Spain, with a rate of 12%. Israeli-invented Drip Irrigation helped achieve 70%-80% of water efficiency in agriculture - the highest rate in the world. Israel has achieved the highest ratio in the world of crop yield per water unit. Israel is home to the world’s largest Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant, annually producing 100 million m 3 at the low cost of approximately $0.52 per m 3 of water - the most cost-efficient of its kind in the world. Israel creates 25% of its consumed water. Israel’s total water consumption has remained the same since the 1960s, despite a growing population, rising water requirements and increasing agricultural production. 2 Israel’s Areas of Expertise Water Resources Management - First to adopt a comprehensive all encompassing approach on a national scale Irrigation Solutions - highest ratio of crop per water unit Purification & Reclamation - countless innovative breakthroughs Desalination - the most economical in the world Water Security - applying years of experience in Defense to counter a new threat
