Israel purifies and reuses almost 70 percent of its waste water each year for agriculture. Much of the leftover sewage water is reused for other purposes.
Israel vastly outranks even the second most efficient recycled water user – Spain – which only recycles 12 percent of its waste water for agriculture. In Turkey, the host country of the forum, only 3.6 percent of sewage water is recycled.
