Regional Attractiveness

All around the world, the issue of water is a factor in the economic and social development of regions as well as in their appeal. Working towards access to water, providing a reliable and continuous service and guaranteeing bathing water quality are all determining factors for the well being of local communities and for developing the fabric of a dynamic local economy.
