CoWT will serve as a platform for mutual knowledge sharing between India and Israel. It will facilitate the exchange of technology, scientific information, and literature related to water management. The center will bring together experts from both countries to engage in discussions and consultations on various water-related issues, including drinking water, sewerage management, and the exploration of new areas of intervention.
Apart from promoting sustainable water management practices, the India-Israel Center of Water Technology will showcase cutting-edge technologies and projects. It will provide Indian water professionals with wide exposure to the latest advancements in the field by organizing demonstrations and exhibitions of Israeli water companies. This initiative will contribute to the adoption of state-of-the-art solutions in India’s water sector.
The center will initially focus on specific projects related to integrated water resources management, urban water supply, non-revenue water, and sewage recycling. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) will be key elements in developing innovative solutions for water harvesting and smart data management. Through the utilization of advanced technologies, the center aims to demonstrate effective and sustainable approaches to water management.
