Tanzania will be a focus, as well as other water deficit countries throughout the globe, at the fifth International Water Technologies and Environment Control Exhibition (WATEC) taking place in Tel Aviv later this year. WATEC will cover topics such as water efficiency solutions, desalination, efficient irrigation, water purification, and alternative energy solutions.
The two-day conference, which traditionally attracts ministers, decision-makers and experts in water and environment, will also attend the event and tour IDE Technologies, the world’s biggest water desalination plant.
NEWTech project manager Gilad Peled and Tanzania’s Water and Irrigation minister Prof. Mark Mwandosya, will present the country’s experiences on water and irrigation as a case study.
WATEC chairman Booky Oren said, "As the world’s population continues to grow at a rapid rate, increased stress on the environment and gradual depletion of natural resources, necessitate the need for new solutions."
Currently, it is estimated that there will be a 35% decrease of consumable water during the next 15 years, which sets the stage for the development of water technologies.
