Water is life. We drink it. We grow food with it. All aspects of our modern lives, from manufacturing to generating energy, depend upon a reliable source of clean water. But as human populations grow and climate conditions worsen, the struggle for access to water will increase.

Deserts have turned into farms and there is more than enough water to share. What can Israelis teach the rest of us about how to use our water more wisely? Where might the next innovation be found? And how can each one of us play a role in sustaining life on this ever-changing planet?

Israel21C invites you to scroll through this digital exhibition and Educator Guide to learn more about the Israeli people and innovations that made this tiny, desert nation a global leader solving the world’s water crisis.
