Why is water treatment a strategic issue for manufacturers?
Water is an essential resource for many industries, but it is becoming increasingly scarce and precious. The best water is the water we don't use! With changing regulations, notably the drought decree of March 2023, manufacturers need to rethink their water consumption.
Key facts and figures
32 days without rain in winter 2022-2023 in France
-20 to -30% reduction in river flow expected by 2035
By 2050, our need for water is set to double, while available resources are expected to decline by 14%
only 0.8% of wastewater is reused in France, compared with 14% in Spain and 90% in Israel
Faced with these challenges, manufacturers need to integrate water efficiency and reuse into their strategy. In addition to regulatory constraints, water scarcity can have a direct impact on the long-term viability of certain industrial activities.
Against this backdrop,Equans has developed a range of services dedicated to water management, treatment and reuse.
Our approach is based on a global, integrated vision: optimizing every drop of water used in industrial processes and promoting a circular water economy.
