COIL Sponsors Rocky Mountain Water Conference

#RMWC2025 in Keystone, CO


Our Jeremiah Baronberg proudly represented CO-IL and kicked off the Trivia Happy Hour competition at this year’s RMSAWWA Conference.

As a member of the American Water Works Association's Rocky Mountain Section, CO-IL works to open doors for Israeli water-tech innovation to help address Colorado’s unique water challenges. Israel’s transformation from a water-scarce nation into a global leader in water technology is nothing short of remarkable.

From desalination and wastewater recycling to drip irrigation, reverse osmosis, and atmospheric water generation, Israeli innovation has turned necessity into opportunity. Today, a vibrant ecosystem of startups and established companies exports these solutions worldwide to help meet urgent water needs.
