Global water shortage and environmental pollution is a growing problem. This prompts local authorities and commercial companies to search for different solutions. An exhibition in Israel had to offer just that. Here's more from our Israeli correspondent.
Israel, having suffered water shortage problems since its early days, is a pioneer and leader in developing and implementing water and environmental technologies.
The International Water Technologies and Environmental Control Exhibition attracted thousands of local visitors as well as delegations from about 80 countries, including 35 ministers and vice-ministers.
The exhibition presented methods for improving the quality of the environment such as reducing environmental nuisances and using alternative energy sources.
