It may be hard to believe given that the last 18 months have been the wettest since records began, but the UK could face water shortages over the summer months. With the climate crisis continuing to escalate, we are now seeing more 'all or nothing' rain patterns which can lead to flooding in winter and shortages in summer. Now more than ever, the right expertise and technical capabilities are needed to combat the challenges facing our water supply. Preserving and improving access to clean water and sanitation always needs to be the number one priority; making the water cycle sustainable will help to safeguard access to clean water for future generations. This can be done by using the latest technologies to improve the efficiency of water processes, reducing waste and using data to inform smarter decision-making. As part of Veolia's 'GreenUp' strategy, we are moving from water distribution to water science, improving efficiency and sustainability of water management for industry and cities. Along with removing pollutants from our water supply and tackling challenges such as the presence of PFAS, we are developing innovative solutions for the reuse of treated wastewater and the efficient production of drinking water - to protect access to our most vital resource for years to come 💧 #Water #Sustainability #Depollution #EcologicalTransformation
