### The need to preserve water resources — both in terms of quantity and quality — is imperative for all local players, including industries. For the latter, the goal is to reduce their water consumption, so as to weigh as little as possible on the resource, while maintaining, or even improving, their operational performance. Maximizing water usage efficiency, reusing it, and thus striving for Zero Liquid Discharge, can lead some sectors to deeply redefine their production processes. Thanks to its expertise and unique portfolio of technologies, Veolia is the benchmark partner for assisting industries in their ecological transformation, whatever their activity. ## Our solutions for industrial water ### We support industrial companies in managing water resources.
