Sustainable management of water

Currently almost 2.3 billion people live in areas subject to water stress.

At the same time, 80% of the world's water discharge is released into the environment without adequate treatment plants and the resulting water pollution contributes to the water shortage.  

The increase in torrential rain linked to climate change is an additional factor of difficulty in numerous areas of the planet, where often obsolete water collection infrastructure is unable to guarantee adequate treatment, contributing to the degradation of the environment.

The contribution of Salini Impregilo

Salini Impregilo is one of the world's leading infrastructure players in the water sector according to the ENR classification. We operate along the entire water supply chain and offer our customers sustainable solutions for:

• procuring, treating and desalinating water to be used as drinking water;
• collecting, sending and treating the waste water of large urban centres, improving the quality of water in water receptors (usually rivers or seas), reducing pollution and making water resources available for new uses, such as irrigation. 

We serve over 20 million people in the world every day also using the plants constructed by Fisia Italimpianti SpA, part of the Salini Impregilo Group and world leader in water desalination and treatment.
