NEW DELHI: In a boost to the ongoing cooperation between India and Israel in the field of water management, both nations are set to partner for the 17th Everything About Water Expo 2022 to be held in New Delhi from August 4-6, Israel’s embassy in New Delhi said on Thursday.
This event will include four top-tier Israeli water specialists who will share their knowledge in a session centred on the Israeli model for water management, policy regulations, water technology, R&D implementation, and the Israel-India water relationship, they will impart their knowledge.
“Today Israel recycles 90 per cent of its wastewater, making it the number one global leader when it comes to wastewater recycling. By adopting a holistic approach to water consumption that encompasses good management, high-tech development, and public education, Israel has transformed from a water-parched nation to a global leader in the field of water,” the Israel Embassy said.
The involvement of eight of the top Israeli water businesses, who will display cutting-edge water innovations at the National Pavilion of Israel, will be another highlight of the event.
According to the Embassy, these participating firms will present their solutions for water filtration, leak detection, wastewater treatment, desalination, and water security, as well as for water distribution and management.
Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador of Israel to India Naor Gilon said, “It is our great pleasure to be a part of the 17th EverythingAboutWater Expo 2022 as a country partner. This will be a great platform for Israeli and Indian companies to form partnerships and explore future collaborations in the water sector. I invite everyone to come to the Israeli Pavilion, where Israeli companies will share their innovative water solutions, best practices, and technologies.”
The significance of this connection may be seen in the fact that, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel in 2017, the two nations inked two significant water accords to boost cooperation in water conservation and state water utility reform.
“Also, India is the only country wherein Israel has the position of Water Attache to help share Israeli best practices and technologies for advancements in India’s water management sector,” the Embassy said.
