How Israel Solved Its Water Scarcity

How do you build a thriving country in one of the driest regions on Earth? You invent your way out of scarcity.

Israel is the world leader in desalination and wastewater recycling. Over 90% of its wastewater is treated and reused, mostly for agriculture. That’s the highest rate in the world. The second country, Spain, reuses just 20%.

Its flagship Sorek desalination plant produces about 20% of Israel’s drinking water from the sea at the lowest cost globally.

What started as survival is now strategy: The #StartupNation's water tech is exported to countries from India to California to Rwanda.

From Netafim’s drip irrigation revolution to AI-powered leak detection, Israel went from desert to demo site for climate resilience.

The Israeli mindset: innovate like your life depends on it.

Because it does.
