Most of Israel’s freshwater comes from its five desalination facilities. The innovative Israeli water technology ecosystemcomprises no less than 180 companies, according to recent SNCdata. Israel water-tech solutions come at all levels and sizes, and include: Water & Wastewater Treatment, Irrigation, Water Leading Systems, Water Network Management, Desalination, Domestic Use, Water Quality Detection and more. Theoretically, these technologies could be implemented in India, putting an end to the country's predicted water shortage. But desalination, for a start, has its limitations: it is expensive, consumes a lot of electricity, needs access to the sea andmust operate over a flat geographical area. Some advanced solutions for smartwateringof agricultural areas are already in action in India. Best known among them is the famouswater irrigation system, aimed to level and control water consumption in agriculture. But there is more to be done. Macro managing the water system requires a different level of R&D: some of the innovations are uploading a municipal water data to the ‘cloud`, enabling remote cellular control of water systems, with real-time monitoring of a city's water pipes. Lastly, but most fascinating, is the sub-sector of atmosphericwater sourcing, or in plainwords, producing water out of thin air, literally. Overall, Israeli exportswater technology valued at USD 2 Bn annually, and India is amajor partner in this technological - and humanitarian - journey. 39
