In France, there are areas of water stress. For example, in the region of Le Havre, it is estimated that the level of the Seine, upstream of the agglomeration, will have dropped by 20 to 30% by 2050. We must act: once collected, the water that we do not lose becomes an additional resource. And thanks to digital data, we are able to reduce network leaks. But the main issue remains the local environmental impact, because tap water is drawn, treated and distributed locally.
