Israel – US Water Initiative: From Source to Reuse:
Technology Opportunities
10:30–11:30 a.m.
Exhibit Hall—Booth #1420
Moderator: Gili Elkin
Although 60% of Israel is a dessert, and its demand for water is
almost twice as much as its natural water resources can supply,
Israel exports water to its neighbors. This is due to education,
water planning and management, innovation, and reuse. As a
result, Israel has 5 desalination plants that provide 80% of its
water; uses drip irrigation in 75% of its irrigated fields; and treats
95% of its wastewater, reusing 86% of the treated water for
agricultural purposes. In contrast, despite water scarcity in the
US, water and wastewater utilities face challenges deploying new
technologies to support water reuse. The goal of the Israel – US
Water Initiative is to educate US water and wastewater utilities
of Israeli solutions that can help solve water challenges. This
panel will discuss water reuse and introduce KANDO, an Israeli
technology that continuously monitors wastewater.
Panelists:
Ari Goldfarb, KANDO
David Irish, Southgate Water and Sanitation District
Nicole Poncelet-Johnson, City of Thornton
Oren Blonder, Dorot
H2Open Forum
11:15 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Room: 501
Moderator: David LaFrance
Source water protection is a key component to enhancing public
health protection and water quality – one that can provide
utilities with a significant financial benefit over solely treatment-
based approaches.
On the final day of ACE19, join your fellow attendees for a
conversation exploring key questions, challenges, and solutions
for source water protection. USDA Conservation programs
spend billions of dollars per year to help incentivize and support
environmental outcomes on millions of acres of private lands.
Likewise, U.S. Forest Service public lands are source water areas
for over 60 million people. Together they have been enhancing
source water protection on public and private lands while
leveraging the energy and expertise of local communities and
landowners. The innovative practices implemented in these
projects could serve as models, nationally and worldwide, to
address nutrient, sediment, and chemical concerns and reduce
risks to water systems.

Christine Burri, Denver Water
