Access for all to drinking water and wastewater services is one of our century's major challenges in emerging countries. We are doing what we can to meet it, in partnership with public authorities and other stakeholders.
A global issue
Appropriate social engineering
Stronger community support
Humanitarian action
Water is too precious a resource to be used only once. Based on this principle, Apa Water recycles wastewater at the outlet from its treatment plants to produce, after appropriate treatment, industrial process water, water for farming, for watering parks and gardens, or recharging the aquifer. This practice has become relatively widespread in the world's more arid regions (Australia, Israel, etc.). In some cases, such as Namibia, the recycled treated water is used to produce drinking water for human consumption.
Adapt services
Capitalize on the assets in place
Create innovative solutions
Evaluate the impact of programs in progress
Educate consumers about proper water use and practices
There is also a need for community support in developed countries. To help people in great financial need, Apa Water is introducing subsidy schemes and trying to find ways to avoid cutting off service. Working with the public authority and retail customers concerned, we are creating payment solutions tailored to each situation.
Its brief is to provide emergency humanitarian assistance, by sending experts and equipment to the stricken area in order to safeguard the water supply and prevent the outbreak of epidemics. It relies on a network of employees who volunteer both their time and expertise in order to assist those communities affected by the disaster.
