Technologies

The private sector is a major player in driving innovation and developing demand-driven knowledge-based solutions in the water and sanitation sector. German companies within the water and sanitation sector have recognized that the key factors which ensure their long-term viability and sustainability of investments are employees with exactly the right qualifications as well as sector-specific knowledge and skills. For this reason, the private sector is continuously investing in training young people.

Almost 1 in 2 people globally do not have access to adequate sanitation, can’t safely evacuate or reuse wastewater. The situation in rural settings for the most vulnerable people is even more critical, 2 third of the people globally lacking access to basic sanitation living in rural areas.
Innovating in sanitation chain is a necessity. A necessity to prevent public health issues, environment pollution, to preserve water resources, developing the production of non-conventional water and promote rural development.

Prior to Drinking Water Supply projects’ implementation, diligence has to be given to the availability of water resource to sustain the demands, and the risks associated with technological options, with emphasis on different challenges (the hydrogeological constraints, the increasing number of pollutions’ sources of pollution, Climate changes, etc…).
Knowledges and tools are being constructed to ensuring not only continuous safe drinking water services, but also environmental sustainability.
