Talks at Google
Published on Oct 30, 2015
As every day brings urgent reports of growing water shortages
around the world, there is no time to lose in the search for
solutions.
The U.S. government predicts that forty of our fifty states-and
60 percent of the earth's land surface-will soon face alarming
gaps between available water and the growing demand for it.
Without action, food prices will rise, economic growth will
slow, and political instability is likely to follow.
Let There Be Water illustrates how Israel can serve as a model
for the United States and countries everywhere by showing how to
blunt the worst of the coming water calamities. Even with 60
percent of its country made of desert, Israel has not only
solved its water problem; it also had an abundance of water.
Israel even supplies water to its neighbors-the Palestinians and
the Kingdom of Jordan-every day.
Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews, Let
There Be Water reveals the methods and techniques of the often
offbeat inventors who enabled Israel to lead the world in
cutting-edge water technology.
Let There Be Water also tells unknown stories of how cooperation
on water systems can forge diplomatic ties and promote unity.
Remarkably, not long ago, now-hostile Iran relied on Israel to
manage its water systems, and access to Israel's water know-how
helped to warm China's frosty relations with Israel.
Beautifully written, Let There Be Water is and inspiring account
of the vision and sacrifice by a nation and people that have
long made water security a top priority. Despite scant natural
water resources, a rapidly growing population and economy, and
often hostile neighbors, Israel has consistently jumped ahead of
the water innovation-curve to assure a dynamic, vital future for
itself. Every town, every country, and every reader can benefit
from learning what Israel did to overcome daunting challenges
and transform itself from a parched land into a water
superpower.
