In the face of growing threats to water resources, innovative real-time monitoring solutions are being deployed to secure the distribution of drinking water. Sensors installed at strategic points along the network collect physico-chemical data, which is then analyzed by a central system. This technology enables rapid detection of changes in water quality, providing managers with invaluable decision-making support and enhanced responsiveness to protect the resource and guarantee the quality of the water distributed.
Veolia, the world leader in desalination, treats around 13 million m3 of seawater or brackish water per day in 108 countries, thereby combating water stress in arid coastal regions. The company offers two main technologies: distillation desalination and reverse osmosis membrane treatment. These solutions, sometimes combined in hybrid plants, supply drinking water to municipalities and industries, contributing to public health and the economic development of coastal areas.
