(Ministry of Foreign Affairs) WATEC 2007, to be held in Israel from October 30 - November 1, 2007, is intended to display such technologies, emphasizing those developed in Israel, and to allow anyone interested to learn more about innovation, creativity and experience in solving environmental problems, in rich and poor countries alike.

As the saying goes: "Necessity is the mother of invention." Since Israel's early days, the country's water sector has been forced to provide its citizenry with advanced solutions.

Water technology is an already booming industry in Israel, who expects to export up to $1 billion worth by the end of the year.
