Israel California Water Conference, June 29-30, sets stage for California water stewardship. The Israel Economic Mission to the West Coast, Israel NewTech, and The Israel Export Institute will host the first Israel California Water (ICWater) Conference on June 29th in Los Angeles from 8:30am - 6:00pm at the Ritz Carlton Marina Del Rey, and on June 30th in San Diego from 9:00am - 2:00pm at the Leichtag Commons, Encinitas. The ICWater Conference will focus on initiating and strengthening water technology partnerships and pilot projects between California and Israel to help meet California's water needs. New financial models will help water users in California's agricultural, industrial, and municipal sectors make the case for water-saving projects. The conference grew out of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by Governor Brown and Prime Minister Netanyahu in 2014. Participants include California and Israel business leaders, water technology experts, researchers, policy leaders, regulators, and public authorities. Over twenty Israeli water technology firms will be present, along with customers and business partners from the municipal, agricultural, and industrial sectors in California. Both days of the conference will feature structured B2B meetings to discuss specific challenges, custom solutions, and partnerships with companies specializing in such areas as desalination, water reuse, drip-irrigation, and water monitoring and management.
