In recent decades, cutting-edge innovation developed in Israel to tackle the water shortage have helped position it as a world leader in all aspects of water management. Israel is proud to share its expertise in water to promote water and food security around the world and especially with “precious friend” India, he said.

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel in 2017, Israel and India signed two major water agreements to increase cooperation in water conservation and state water utility reform in India.

In 2019, Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat visited Israel in the framework of the Water Technology and Environmental Control Conference and Exhibition in order to advance cooperation in the field of water between the two countries.

“This agreement is a flagship project in the ongoing cooperation between the two countries and opens a new chapter allowing the countries to leverage our strategic cooperation in the field of water,” an Israeli Embassy statement said.
