Now the numbers confirm what we all know; that Israel is truly a global leader in water technology. According  to a Globes article: “The Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute reports that water technology exports totaled $1.4 billion in 2008 - double the 2005 amount. The global water market is worth $400 billion annually and is expected to rise to $537 billion next year.”

The article continues “The areas of activity in which these companies are involved are: water management systems; safety and security for water sources; irrigation management systems; desalination; water recycling and purification; and others. Israel is ranked first in the world in recycling water for agriculture. 75% of sewage is recycled for agriculture with Spain, ranked second in the world, recycling 12% of its sewage for agriculture.”

Now if only the country could take of its’ own water shortage!
