Emergency response to cyclone-related disruption to thewater network on Réunion
The cyclone season on Réunion, which generally lasts from November to April, represents a real challenge for the drinking water supply due to infrastructure disruptions such as broken pipes and pumping stations out of service. Contamination of water sources by organic debris, mud and pathogens is also an emergency water problem in this type of extreme situation. These disruptions make access to drinking water difficult and urgent.
That's why reliable, rapid solutions are needed to guarantee a secure water supply for homes andcommunities.
