💧 Water is a precious resource, but access to it is not always a given. While some regions enjoy a relatively stable water supply, others—like Cyprus—face increased water stress in summer due to rising demand from tourism. Cyprus is an island particularly vulnerable to water shortages. How can we meet agricultural irrigation needs while preserving groundwater? Since March 2022, Saur, in partnership with #Lacovonou, has been operating the Paphos wastewater treatment plant under an eight-year contract. Our goal is clear: to turn treated wastewater into a valuable resource for local agriculture, reducing dependence on groundwater. This sustainable solution provides farmers with a reliable alternative while helping to mitigate the risks of drought. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to responsible water management, working closely with local stakeholders. By multiplying these innovative solutions, we help build a more resilient model—where every drop of water is given the value it deserves. #MissionWater #WaterStress #SustainableManagement

🌊 Unwavering commitment in the face of Cyclone Garance 🌪️ Following the devastating impact of Cyclone Garance in La Réunion, our teams have been working tirelessly to restore access to drinking water. Despite extreme conditions, power outages, and infrastructure damage, they have remained fully committed—coordinating with local authorities, installing emergency generators, and ensuring water supply to the affected areas. 👏 A huge thank you to all our colleagues on the ground for their resilience, dedication, and teamwork. #MissionWater

After the devastating floods that struck France last October, our teams came together to restore the Tartaras wastewater treatment plant (Loire, France) in just four months. Our communities placed their trust in us, and this collective effort shows our dedication and our ability to effectively tackle climate challenges. At Saur, innovation drives action. We integrate sustainable solutions to enhance the resilience of our infrastructure and ensure efficient sanitation. This project embodies our ambition to lead France in its water transition. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our teams whose expertise and commitment make water preservation and sustainable management a reality every day. SIAMVG #Missionwater

Ensuring reliable access to high-quality drinking water is a key challenge for communities. In response to growing pressure on water resources in Côtes-d’Armor, STEREAU partnered with Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomération to design and build the Croix-Cholin plant—a sustainable solution to the region’s water challenges. This facility draws water from the Gouët-Saint-Barthélemy dam and produces 1,850 m³ per hour of drinking water, serving 150,000 residents. Innovative features of the plant help conserve 515,000 m³ of water annually—equivalent to 206 Olympic swimming pools—by reducing withdrawals from natural sources. With this modern and sustainable infrastructure, Stereau enhances water efficiency while promoting responsible resource management. This project reaffirms our commitment to supporting communities in developing smart, sustainable water solutions. Every new infrastructure marks a step forward in balancing performance with resource preservation. Together, let’s secure the future of water—starting today. #Missionwater

🌟 Innovating together to protect water Innovation is central to developing the solutions to the challenges of water preservation. But one thing is certain: to innovate, we must listen. Through the citizen consultation "Every Drop Counts," in partnership with Make.org, we opened the door to fresh ideas shaped by the unique perspectives of local citizens. This dialogue became a powerful driver of innovation. By connecting with the realities and expectations of the public, we enriched our thinking and developed tailored solutions grounded in everyday needs. 📹 In this third and last episode, see how citizen contributions fuel our innovative strategies, driving us to go further in protecting this most precious resource. Innovating for water with those who share our vision means advancing hand in hand towards a sustainable future 🌍 Khaled Al Mezayen #MissionWater #CitizenConsultation #Innovation #WaterTransition #CSR

💡 Citizens imagine the future of water In partnership with Make.org, the Saur group launched a major citizen consultation. This project mobilized more than 16,000 participants, generated 1,600 proposals and collected 300,000 votes to answer a key question: how can we guarantee a sustainable future for water? As part of this initiative, citizens and experts came together to workshop practical solutions to high-priority problems. They focused on making soil more permeable, reusing treated wastewater, and desalinating seawater. Through this process, it became all the more clear that it is crucial for citizens to be actively involved in protecting this vital resource. 🎯 These results help the Saur group improve our current solutions and innovate for the future, addressing stakeholder needs while driving an ambitious water transition. 📹 In the next three episodes, take a dip behind the scenes of this collective mobilization, and see how citizens shape our vision for the future of water. Watch the first video today to learn how citizen consultation influenced the Saur group's global strategy. 📆 Stay tuned, the rest is coming soon!
