Israel:the World's Water Superpower by cristianisraeli: 12:27am On Apr 11, 2017
Israel could not have made the desert bloom without its incredible innovations in water technology. As the world becomes more aware of the importance of conserving water, they are turning to Israel for exports and expertise.
The world is in a water crisis, one that will grow more severe in the coming decade. Water shortages will soon lead to increasing political instability, displacement of populations, and, more likely than not, political unrest and war.

Though this water crisis overlaps with the more widely-discussed problem of climate change, it is different in many ways. It is more acute and more concrete, in that it focuses on a single resource without which humanity cannot live. Its causes are less controversial. Its dimensions are more easily measured. And its catastrophic effects are playing out more clearly and more quickly.

The planet is on the brink of a global water crisis and California's drought is only the beginning. The U.S. government predicts that 40 of our 50 states -- and 60 percent of the earth's land surface -- will soon face alarming gaps between the supply and growing demand for water.

Without immediate action, food prices will rise, economic growth will slow, and political instability is likely to follow.

In remarkable defiance of this water emergency stands Israel. Despite its unforgiving terrain, rapid population growth, and low annual rainfall, Israel is not only fending off a water crisis; it boasts a water surplus. It even exports water to the Palestinians in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza and to the Kingdom of Jordan.
