Every single day the demand for water grows. It is the most vital of our resources, from our direct need to consume it to the vast quantities required by our agriculture and industry.
The water industry is changing rapidly, adapting to population growth, urban needs, and climate change. Because of it, there is significant pressure on industry and academia to develop sustainable water management strategies and technologies.
The water industry provides drinking water and wastewater services (including sewage treatment) to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
The water industry includes water engineering, operations, water and wastewater plant construction, equipment supply and specialist water treatment chemicals, among others.
The water industry is at the service of other industries, e.g. of the food sector which produces beverages such as bottled water.
