CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
Over 2,000 million people in the world live without access to a basic drinking water service, and 3,6 billionhave no access to a basic sanitation service, resulting in avoidable deaths, chronic disease, fewer hours of education and low productivity.
ACCIONA has positioned itself as a key player in the water treatment sector. Its innovative management seeks to resolve the challenges with respect to the shortage of water resources.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The generation and use of energy accounts for 35 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This activity is the largest contributor to global warming. Investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low-carbon technologies will continue to be essential to meet the emerging needs of humanity and to minimize their negative impact on the environment.
ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its effects to be a strategic priority. The company works to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to the progress of society and respond to the main challenges of sustainable development in the areas of infrastructure, water and energy, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The facility will meet the drinking water needs of most of central and northeastern Sardinia, including the municipalities of Budoni, Posada, Siniscola, Torpè and San Teodoro, five major tourist resorts whose combined population comes to 170,000 at the peak of the summer tourist season.
ACCIONA will carry out the work in a temporary joint venture with CEIF, the Italian leader in SCADA systems, electrical systems and telecommunications (80% ACCIONA / 20% CEIF).
The new DWTP will treat surface water from the “Maccheronis” Dam in Torpè and will have a treatment capacity of 420 liters/second. Applying ACCIONA knowhow, the treatment line has been designed to be especially flexible and adaptable to a range of situations, including high turbidity levels, high organic substances concentration and the presence of metals such as iron and manganese.
