On World Water Day, at TYPSA we would like to share our vision concerning 21<\/span>st<\/span> century critical challenges, challenges intensified by factors such as climate change, population growth, loss of biodiversity, and unsustainable water usage. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF (United Nations Children\u00b4s Emergency Fund) reported that approximately 2.2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water services, and around 4.2 billion people do not have adequate sanitation services, a situation worsened globally by the COVID-19 pandemic. This lack of basic services not only poses a serious risk to public health but also has a negative impact on education, the environment, gender equality, and economic development.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) reports show that over 40% of the world’s population faces water scarcity, a problem that is likely to worsen due to climate change and increased demand. In this context, agriculture is a key area, responsible for approximately 70% of the world’s freshwater consumption, significantly contributing to the overexploitation of water resources. The growing gap between the availability and demand for freshwater highlights the urgent need to adopt new practices in sustainable water management, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (especially Goal 6 Water), where innovation and good governance are key to overcoming the challenges posed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Extreme phenomena, exacerbated by climate change such as droughts and floods, magnify the challenges by affecting both the availability and quality of water. Water pollution, in turn, further undermines available water resources, emphasising the critical need to preserve water quality to protect public health and ensure environmental sustainability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this scenario, it is essential to highlight the implementation of technical solutions to address these risks and strengthen our resilience. Solutions that a company like TYPSA can help formulate, based on our experience and deep knowledge of the problem from a global and integrative perspective, can be formulated in the following points:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
