Veolia Water is able to monitor water quality by using an integrated risk management system from the moment the resource is abstracted from the natural environment to when it reaches consumers' taps.

The water supply
In order for the water supply to be completely efficient, leakage within the system needs to be kept as low as possible, while consumers need to maintain their domestic plumbing and fittings in a good condition.
Improving the efficiency of the system is therefore a significant means of conserving the resource. The first step is to reduce leakage.
Veolia Water, thanks to techniques developed by Sade, is able to rehabilitate leaking systems by using a method that does not involve the inconvenience of having to first open up trenches.
Optimizing the water supply
Statement of the meters at Sestri Levante, Italy
Water supply maintenance is made possible by:
- detecting leaks by using additional methods
- using on site acoustic detectors
- isolating different sectors of the network
- measuring flow rate and pressure at different times of the day and night
- detecting abnormal flow rates - using various techniques to repair leaks such as replacing water mains, rehabilitation by lining the pipes or by new casing
- implementing security measures to protect the most vulnerable water mains
- using patrimonial management tools (modelling, geographical information systems (GIS)...).
Remaining close to customers
Because the concerns of customers are also those of the public authorities, Veolia Water's clients, the Company is committed to finding solutions to meet their needs as part of the outsourcing service that it provides.
