The Value of Water

Water is essential to every process on Earth, natural and man-made, but climate change is threatening supplies and making drought and flooding more frequent and extreme. Rethinking the way we use, manage and store water is one of the greatest adaptation challenges that we face. WSP’s specialist teams are helping operators around the world to deliver a safe, resilient supply to their communities, and finding new solutions to ensure that no drop of this vital resource goes to waste.
