Water is the most precious commodity on Earth. Wavin cares deeply about the quality of drinking water. We move it, store it and managed it with an extensive range of pipe systems that set the highest standards for safety and hygiene. ![](https://www.wavin.com/en-in/-/media/project/fluent/mexichem-wavin/wavin-corporate/india/images/knowledge-center/news/750x465---body-image/a4859383-4873-4268-9e8f-8276e249c693_shutterstock_78603913.jpg) Water is always [on the move](http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/Water/water_cycle.html), constantly recycled through the environment, the atmosphere, land, oceans and underground. There is about the same amount of water on earth now as there was millions of years ago, processed over and over through the [water cycle](http://water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycle.html). The rain falling where you are today may have been water in the ocean just days before! The future of water access is in doubt for many, however. According to the MIT Joint Program on the [Science and Policy of Global Change](http://globalchange.mit.edu/), by 2050 over half the world’s projected 9.7 billion population will live in water-stressed areas. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that water is a [quality of life issue](http://growingblue.com/implications-of-growth/social-implica...) in both the developed and developing worlds. Consider that 200 million hours are consumed every day by [women collecting water](http://www.seametrics.com/blog/water-facts/) for their families. In the developing world, 80% of all illness is water related, a fact recently shared on [Wavin Group's Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/wavin/photos/a.741318512556265.1073...). No matter where we live, a safe and sanitary supply of water determines the health of entire communities. Working with high quality piping material and a wide variety of reliable solutions makes a huge difference.   ![](https://www.wavin.com/en-in/-/media/project/fluent/mexichem-wavin/wavin-corporate/india/images/knowledge-center/news/750x465---body-image/82431621-58ed-468c-b37e-9a7038e8b341_water-863053_1280.jpg) Wavin is trusted for our technology to move water, manage excess rainwater and more. Water sustainability is a driver for value creation, our focus is on better products and value for our customers, like water mains that are the backbone for distribution of drinking water to the consumer. [Mexichem](http://www.mexichem.com/), of which Wavin is part, has a strong commitment to water conservation. Words that are supported by deeds, as Mexichem reuses at least 69% of the water that it consumes locally. Mexichem is also involved in the [Hydros Project](http://proyectohydros.com/hydros-project/what-are-the-challe...): an initiative designed to create local awareness in the use of and care for water. Read more on what the project entails in [this news item](http://www.wavin.com/web/news/show-news-on-page/together-we-...) on World Water Day. The challenge maintains to be proactive in finding solutions that support sustainable water management–for today and the future!  #### Share this page  ## Our solutions [![Wavin Drinking Water Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Hand%20holding%20a%20glass%20that%20is%20being%20filled%20with%20drinking%20water_1024x1024px_E_NR-18865%20copy.jpg) ### Drinking water Delivering clean water efficiently and safely has become a world-wide problem. Water is lost due to leakages and ageing networks. We need to improve the distribution of clean drinking water from source to tap. We will work towards these goals by raising the quality and performance of high-pressure water distribution networks, improving safety levels of indoor drinking water supply, and building towards a new (smarter) ways of managing drinking water. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-drinking-water) [![Wavin solutions for heating and cooling](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Gulvvarme_overgansperiode%20copy.jpg) ### Heating & Cooling People require increased comfort and well-being in the places they live and work. We need to design, build and use comfortable living environments in the most efficient and sustainable way. With the Wavin Indoor Climate solutions we aim to make a positive contribution in many different ways. We contribute to lowering energy usage when heating or cooling our homes, offices, hospitals, and more. Clean and fresh air has so many health and wellbeing benefits. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-heating-cooling) [![Wavin Solutions for Rainwater](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Rainwater%20on%20ground%20_1280x857px_E_NR-2564.jpg) ### Rainwater Climate change with massive rainfall, extreme heats and droughts put pressure on cities. Growing populations increasingly ask for greener living space. We need to (re)act to climate change and build livable and loveable cities. We will work towards these goals by creating integrated rainwater management solutions, countering the risk of flooded streets, avoid urban heat stress, and support greenification of cities. Our Wavin solutions already contribute. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-rainwater) [![Wavin Sewer Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Wavin%20kloak%20br%C3%B8nd.jpg) ### Sewer Millions of people have no or limited access to sanitation facilities. Simultaneously, ageing and poorly designed sewer systems contaminate groundwater resources. We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. We will work towards these goals by building sewer systems with modern technology, preventing leakages, corrosion and clogging of sewer systems, and boosting renewal of sewer infrastructure. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-sewer) [![Wavin Waste Water Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Czechia/Blog-migrace/AS%20plus%20Wavin%20NL.jpg) ### Waste Water We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. Although drainage pipes may sound like a simple form of construction, there are many considerations behind a good and solid drainage system in buildings. We offer a range of market-leading and BIM-supported waste-water solutions incl. low-noise. With our wealth of knowledge and expertise, we can help you to create the optimal solution for your next project. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-waste-water) ## Wavin Newsletter Get the latest in industry insights, product trends and updates directly in your inbox. ![Wavin Global Newsletter](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Wavin_march2022/Images/ipad.png) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "goldenrabbit", "url" : "https://blog.wavin.com/en-in/author/goldenrabbit" }, "dateModified" : "2023-08-23T05:08:22.072Z", "datePublished" : "2016-12-06T12:47:00.000Z", "headline" : "Water-the-worlds-most-precious-resource", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.wavin.com/en-in/water-the-worlds-most-precious-resource", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20Logos/Wavin_Logo_Endorsement_Blue.png" }, "name" : "Wavin B.V." } } ```
