Water resources

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.

We contribute to the progress of the SDGs with our projects in the water sector

The contribution of Webuild

Webuild is one of the world leaders in water infrastructure, according to the ENR ranking. We are active throughout the entire water supply chain, from drinking and irrigation water supply to final wastewater treatment, 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. 

Through the plants built by Fisia Italimpianti SpA, part of the Webuild Group and world leader in desalination and water treatment, we serve over 20 million people worldwide every day, producing 8.8 million cubic meters of treated water daily. Over 15 million people will benefit from the water infrastructure we are building.
