Emerging economies across the world depend on the
adequate availability of water for the generation of
energy, drinking, irrigation and food production.
Improving the management of water resources,
integrating and improving the multiple uses, flexibly
allocating water to different users and investing in public
sanitation such as sewage collection, resolving sanitary
problems of waterborne diseases is one of the most
important forms of economic and social development,
because improving the quality of life promotes the
generation of jobs and income and expands the ability to
supply water for multiple uses and stimulates the economy
for any country.
This is also crucial for ensuring that sustainability of
water management must be kept high on the agenda
for conglomerates and organisations involved in water
technologies and its related services.
