(Israel Hayom) Dan Lavie - Revolutionary technologies for the water industry will be presented at the WATEC Israel 2015 expo in Tel Aviv in October. Solaris Energy will present its photovoltaic system that floats on the Eshkol Reservoir, producing 50 kw. of electricity. Putting solar systems on top of a body of water saves the cost of real estate and also saves water by decreasing evaporation. Neotop Water Systems uses thousands of TopUp water balls in a reservoir to reduce evaporation, algae buildup, and even fend off predatory birds. Migal - the Galilee Research Institute - has developed a mini-sensor that can be embedded in tree trunks, vines and plants to let farmers water each of their crops at the correct time and to the optimal degree. The sensor is operated by a solar battery and provides constant measurements of the plants' water level.
