in which four high-level water experts from Israel
participated.
The experts shared their knowledge and expertise in a session
about India-Israel water partnership and the session was chaired by

Kumar.

the event were CEO of Meniv Rishon Ltd, Israel, Sally Levy, Senior

Sewage (IWA) of Israel, Tahel Brandes, Professor Hadas Mamane,
Head, Environmental Engineering Program and The Water-Energy (WE)

Israeli pavilion, which showcased cutting-edge water technologies
of 8 leading Israeli water companies.
The Israeli water companies introduced solutions related to
water distribution and management, filtration, leak detection,
wastewater treatment, desalination and water security.
Moreover, the importance of the water partnership between Israel
and India can be understood from the fact that both countries

conservation and state water utility reform during Prime Minister

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.
