An improved resilience for water industry
We are engaged in the task of contributing to climate resilience that can deal with drought and water shortages.
Access to clean drinking water and sanitation is an essential human right recognized by Resolution 64/292, passed by the United Nations General Assembly on July 28 2010. This calls upon States and international organizations to launch broadly-based efforts to provide safe, clean, accessible and affordable drinking water and sanitation for all. With a special attention to developing countries, they must make financial support available, contribute to capacity-building and facilitate technology transfer to help populations to secure safe water and sanitation.
Aquathor water is top quality drinking water holding at 4-6C, extremely pure and regularly tested. It is ideal for transport by ships over long distances. It is a natural resource generated by mountain flows that currently run into the sea. Our supplies are not obtained by diverting rivers and robbing ecosystems applied to recharging wetlands or sustaining biodiversity. Nor do we deplete municipal sources. Investment is largely devoted to creating loading and unloading facilities.
Changes in climate coupled with population growth aggravate these imbalances and increase the need for reliable supplies not only to water utilities and industry but also to respond to humanitarian emergencies. We have surplus water in Norway whose journey begins in the mountains. It passes through hydropower plants and finishes in the fjords. Aquathor intervenes to capture water before it arrives in the fjord and to make sure it has had no contact with human, agricultural and industrial waste. We then carry this water to people and places that need it.
