ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Much more than in previous years, 2022 illustrated the importance of better water resource management at all levels. The impacts of climate change have been particularly felt in France and Europe, with periods of drought in summer and autumn and their practical consequences on the community and on economic activity. More widely, at global level, dramatic events regularly illustrate that “water is the primary victim of climate change”. Even more than in the past, OiEau is thus asked to train, inform and support a wide range of customers and partners faced with complex, pressing issues, whether they are local authorities, manufacturers, water and sanitation services, ministries and public agencies, or basin organisations.

These numerous requests have resulted in a marked increase in activity in all OiEau's areas of business. OiEau endeavours to inform its customers’ decisions, boost their skills, train their staff, and support the implementation of solutions adapted to each context, in France and internationally. From the outset, our values of independent expertise have been underpinned by our recognition as a public interest association. Since 2022, OiEau has also been accredited in France for environmental protection.

This is an additional source of pride for the OiEau teams, who are actively involved in documenting the debates on water, and training people to manage water resources in an increasingly integrated way that meets the needs of human activities and respects the way that aquatic ecosystems work. Securing water and sanitation services and securing the management of water resources are two universally shared concerns, in France and around the world, to which OiEau continues to provide solutions. Many examples of these are contained in this business report. We hope you enjoy reading it.
