Integrated Water Resources Management for Sustainable Development - Online Course
We are all aware that without water, there would be no life. However, often overlooked, is the fact that water is a key component in a country's development. In small, semi-arid Israel, we have never taken water for granted. Under the pressure of limited rainfall and very few natural water resources, coupled with a rapidly growing population, the country’s water management and technology have become the most efficient and cost effective in the world. This course aims to share these developments.
