ACCIONA supports World Water Day 2013

March 22nd is World Water Day (designated as such by the UN General Assembly 19 years ago), and here at ACCIONA we'd like to take this opportunity to share the responsibility of taking on the challenge of treating and managing water in a sustainable manner and coming up with solutions for industry and individuals alike.

This year, for the third year running, we'll be holding "An encounter with ACCIONA", an online event on Facebook in which you can express your comments and queries on water treatment (desalination, purification, drinking water production, etc). It is scheduled for Friday 22^nd, from 12 noon to 1pm CET. Click here for access.

We've also drawn up this infographic on water and the things that ACCIONA does to help make water shortage a thing of the past, namely developing, building and operating water treatment and desalination plants, and managing the Integrated Water Cycle. All of this has made us a world leader in water treatment services.

• 70 million people worldwide benefit from ACCIONA Agua's services
• In Spain, we manage water services for 180 local authorities
• A world leader in Reverse Osmosis desalination.
• In 2012, plants run by ACCIONA desalinated, purified and made fit for human consumption 568 Hm³ of water, 11.7% more than in 2011: 121 Hm3 of desalinated water; 51 Hm3 of treated freshwater, and 396 Hm3 of wastewater.

Finally, we'd like to encourage all Twitter users to follow the conversation at: #WorldWaterDay and #ACCIONAAgua.
