Israel is a very water efficient country because over half the country is desert. Israel is also the home of the dead sea is the lowest naturally formed land on earth over 400 meters below sea level it's also 8 times saltier than the ocean. On top of that israel is also right next to the Jordan river and both israel and jordan are working to stop it from being polluted.
