Network Mission

The Water Resources Network brings together hydrologists, engineers, urban planners and environmental scientists focused on one of the region's most urgent needs: water.

Drawing on Israel's experience in desalination, wastewater reuse and conservation, we exchange ideas that could help restore aquifers, lakes and rivers in a future free Iran.
