Water and waste management equipment and installations

For Shared and Optimized Water Management

Water management and treatment pose a significant challenge for every region of France and any country that includes high-altitude territories. Due to their mountainous environment, with specific geographical and meteorological conditions, suitable equipment and facilities are necessary. They enable sustainable management of water supply, sanitation, supply modalities, and the disposal of wastewater in mountain zones.

Find in the Innovation Book by Mountain Planet 2023, a report on the challenge of water resources in mountains. The topics of artificial snow and water reservoirs with their environmental impact are also central to the discussions. This issue is addressed by highlighting the “Eco-commitments” charter of Domaines Skiables de France, which commits to “optimizing the volumes of produced snow, to store water in order to spread out the withdrawal over time and to share the resource with farmers in case of drought.”

Water Management Experts Offer Solutions on Various Topics:

• Development of hydraulic resources (civil engineering, dams, hydroelectricity)
• Piping/networks
• Water production equipment
• Instrumentation, measurement, control
• Maintenance, upkeep of snowmaking reservoirs
• Irrigation systems, drainage, waterproofing
• Water treatment, sanitation

Innovative Solutions for Every Step of Waste Management

In mountain areas, the collection, treatment, and recycling of waste and household trash require specific installations and equipment. France is particularly affected, as mountain ranges cover up to 30% of the metropolitan territory. Over 10 million people live there, representing nearly 15% of the French population.
