Water scarcity represents one of the most serious challenges that humanity will face in the coming decades. 

Climate change is causing an uneven redistribution of water resources: while some areas suffer from extreme drought, others are devastated by floods. This chaotic management of water resources puts millions of people at risk. 

It is therefore essential that urgent measures be adopted to manage and conserve water sustainably.

Operating across numerous countries alongside diverse clients and partners, we have accumulated valuable on-the-ground experience regarding water challenges and opportunities across diverse operational contexts.

Water is a vital and indispensable resource for human life and for all living beings on the planet. 
Understanding the importance of preserving this resource is essential for the well-being of present and next generations. Only with a global and collaborative commitment we can hope to achieve a sustainable future.

 

By engaging with various stakeholders, we developed our own set of ten priorities aimed at advancing the strategy for a circular and well-regulated water system for the future:

- Collect stormwater and freshwater;

- Enhance the safety of existing peculiar water infrastructures, such as the embankments of large earthen reservoirs;

- Promote the structured development and growth of decentralised wastewater treatment plants; 

- Reduce maintenance and water loss costs; 

- Clean water from pollutants;

- Increase the establishment of permanent observatory points to measure the local stress level on the water cycle; 

- Improve irrigation practises and agri-farming models;

- Increase the water balance evaluation capacity at catchment level;

- Improve efficiency of water demanding industrial processes;

- Promote greater awareness and quantification of the water value.
