HIGHLIGHTS

• Israel extended support to India in dealing with water shortage
• The country is one of the world's leading nations in desert technologies
• Water levels in India's major reservoirs have come down to 21 per cent

At a time when several parts of India are facing acute water shortage and drought situation, Israel has expressed its keenness to share its experience in dealing with desertification and water management, in which it is a world leader.

Israel, with over 60 per cent of its territory being a desert and another 20 per cent semi-arid land, has developed a variety of solutions to desertification through desert agriculture, irrigation, desalination, aquaculture, afforestation and management of water resources.


The country is one of the world's leading nations in desert technologies and methods of dealing with desertification.

"As part of our growing partnership with India, Israel is keen to work together and share all its experience and cutting edge technology in our joint fight against desertification, including a strategic partnership on water management and water security," said Israeli Ambassador to India Ron Malka in a statement.

His statement came in the context of World Day to Combat Desertification, which is observed on every June 17 to promote public awareness of international efforts to combat desertification.

The statement assumes significance as it comes at a time when several parts of India are facing acute water shortage and drought situation.

A statement issued by the Israeli Embassy said MASHAV, the country's Agency for International Development Cooperation, places special emphasis on development cooperation and assistance in the fight against desertification and drought by introducing international programs of capacity building, training, project development and research.

MASHAV's approach is based on Israel's experience in facing harsh climatic conditions, combines the transfer of adaptable technology, research and development, and a hands-on experience originating from leading Israeli experts and institutions, it added.

Under the Indo-Israeli Agricultural Project with the federal and state governments of India, the centre of excellence for date palms in the heart of the desert in Bhuj, Gujarat introduced Indian farmers to date palms suitable for arid conditions made more common by desertification, the statement said.

Date palms are ideal value crops for farmers in arid conditions that can be found in India and Israel alike, it added.

The Israelis are exceptional of making use of what they have and currently have some of the best tech and research on water desalinisation.

 

[beijingwalker]

What a sight...

 

[CrazyZ]

Israel has been assisting India for years. It has made no difference to preventing this crisis.

India is really lucky it doesn't have major geopolitical enemies.

In Iran when someone gets constipated... the western media covers it like its an apocalypse brought on by the government...

if some Saudi cockroach blows himself up somewhere.... western Zionist media instantly brands it some kind of Islamic problem associated with the entire Islamic world. from Malaysian/Indonesia all the way to turkey and everything in between.

no offense to india, but the reality is.... in india… half the population don't know what a toilet is. They are literally one of the most polluted and dirtiest countries on earth. They practise disgusting caste rituals. rape rates are insane. the whole country smells like a toilet.... and they are famous for terrorizing the world over with their fake "Microsoft help" service to hack you, or fake calls from tax collectors to scam you out of money. and this is outside india, inside india you get harassed on every street by people trying to scam/ or beg money from you.

you could go on and on . Indians are extremely lucky they are not victims of the Zionist media like Iran and muslims...

imagine if instead of muslims, it was the hindus and Indians being the subject of Zionist media smear tactics.... lol.. India did well to become friends with the Zionists.

Yes, India would do well to take advantage of Indian expertise in this field.

No offence to Iran but life of an average brainwashed iranian is quite low because most of them become extremist due to Iranian mullahs , poor youth of Iran

I would say China at least takes 80% of bad press from the west. India is a beautiful world biggest democracy, a catchphrase very often used by westrn media.

trust me when I say the average Iranian is a lot more self aware. and aware of global issues then the average brainwashed westerner. getting fed "news" by a handful of conglomerate "mainstream media" dominated by Zionists.

In Iran people know their government feeds them propaganda. most people look for different sources, and use their common sense.

In the west, people have been programmed to only believe what the Zionist controlled "mainstream corporate media" tells them.

a story is not important unless reported by the MSM. a story isn't true until the MSM sais so. and everything the MSM sais is the unquestioned truth. and MSM corporate media, regardless of being leftist, rightist or centrist will almost always with 100% certainty back the US government decisions without question.

you yourself are a victim of this Zionist media brainwashing. they claim to be freedom news, while everything else is lies and putin lies, mullah lies, islamist blah blah/

like I said. be grateful hindus and india are not enemies of Israel. I say this as someone who doesn't mind india at all and actually have somewhat positive views toward it. (just explaining reality)

Highly doubt he is iranian. Most iranians are actually pretty smart and do not engage in zionist conspiracy theories for everything like pakistanis. And apparently, he does not know how to use google, because he actually thinks half of india does not have toilets lol.

Same thing applies to u also , u are already a judgemental and prejudiced person. U have also fallen for the stereotypes shown in the media about India , there are many Iranians studying in India, i believe Iran could have been the richest abd most powerful Islamic country if there would have been no sanctions but your prejudices against India are baffling
And why would Hindus hate jews?India is one of the few countries where jews weren't persecuted and your ancestors Parsis fled to India during islamic invasion and were openly welcomed
