Israeli Water Technologies –Solutions for a Thirsty Planet1. Israel, with a 75% water recycling rate, isthe world's number one water recycler.The second largest water recycler isSpain, at a rate of 12%.2. Israel is home to the world's largestSeawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)desalination plant, producing 100 millioncubic meters per year at the low cost ofapproximately 57¢ for per cubic meter ofwater.3. Israel produces 25% of its total waterconsumption.4. Israel's low pressure irrigation methodshelps achieve 70% - 80% of waterefficiency in agriculture - the highest rate inthe world.5. Drip irrigation, invented in Israel, is usedon 60% of agricultural land in Israel,compared to only 6% in the U.S.6. Israel's National Water Carrier hastransferred over 13 billion cubic metersof water from the country’s lush northernregion to the arid area of Israel within thepast 40 years."Water is an extremely precious commodity inIsrael. The landscape there provides the perfectenvironment for researching and developing watertechnologies in 'real-world' conditions and thenmarketing and selling them globally."Dr. Roger Radke,CEO of the Water Technologies Division ofSiemens, June 20063
