Water companies

Water companies facing an increasing need to understand the impact of Climate Change on the availability of water and to be able to forecast the availability of water, e.g. changes in rainfall and collection and storage of water. Also they have to manage the impact on the environment and managing the relationships with all the environmental bodies.

The aging infrastructures challenges water companies to maintain a reliable water supply and to guarantee water quality.
Huge investments are required to replace ageing water infrastructure. With water related services twice as capital-intensive as electricity and three times as capital intensive as gas, many companies simply cannot afford to upgrade their infrastructure, many of which are decades to a century old.

Efficient water management is no longer simply about supplying water to the tap. It encompasses waste water treatment, water reuse and desalination systems all of which require a high level of expertise to design, implement and maintain. The water consumption is still increasing despite continuous water saving efforts both industrial as well as domestic.

Increasing demand for water and the pressure it puts on infrastructure is also an issue and takes a variety of forms. In many large, older cities growing populations drive demand. In parts of Europe communities are sprouting in places where
basics such as piping and water supply sources do not yet exist. Smaller communities with an ageing system have a critical need for a stable and sophisticated water management system to meet incremental growth.
