Using Israeli technology to live in a water-stressed world – “Today we live in a water-stressed world. It’s not just Africa and India that are suffering from a shortage of water – it is all over the world.” | The Jerusalem Post

“Today we live in a water-stressed world. It’s not just Africa and India that are suffering from a shortage of water – it is all over the world.”
