Category :: Community
Export to My Calendar
Israel, dominated by desert, now has so much affordable water that it exports it to neighboring countries. With California facing a chronic drought, no time is better than now to hear from one of Israel’s leading water authorities. Join us for a dynamic panel of Israeli and Californian water experts as they probe how we can rethink our approach to this critical resource.
Date: April 12th @ 6:30pm
