Water scarcity and water shortage are significant challenges that are affecting many industries in the Middle East such as agriculture and manufacturing. The mining and energy sector requires large amounts of water for production processes, and water scarcity can affect the availability and cost of raw materials and energy.
Impacts of treated water shortages on business operations
- Production Delays and Downtime
If your business relies on water for production processes, a shortage of treated water can cause delays and downtime. Without enough water, you may not be able to operate your equipment or complete your production runs, leading to lost revenue and decreased productivity. - Increased Costs
When there is a shortage of treated water, the cost of water can increase significantly. This can lead to higher operating costs for your business, as well as increased costs for transportation and storage of water. In addition, if you rely on freshwater sources for your operations, you may face additional costs associated with water treatment and desalination. - Damage to Equipment and Infrastructure
Water shortages can also lead to damage to your equipment and infrastructure. For example, if your equipment is designed to operate with a certain amount of water flow, a shortage of water can cause wear and tear on the equipment and reduce its lifespan. Similarly, if your infrastructure relies on a steady supply of water, a shortage can cause damage to pipes and other components. - Reputation Damage
In some cases, a shortage of treated water can also damage your business's reputation. For example, if you are not able to meet your customers' needs or fulfill your contractual obligations, you may lose business or suffer reputational damage. In addition, if your business is seen as contributing to water scarcity or environmental degradation, you may face negative publicity and public backlash.

Case Study: Ezz Steel, a leading steel producer
As the prime example of our commitment to ensuring continuous water supply for industrial resilience we shared the success story of Ezz Steel, a leading industrial company in Egypt.
For this, the client decided to transition their activities due to the water scarcity issues created by the use of water resources from the Nile River. However, with this they faced the challenge of high chloride levels in the water, which was the turning point for them to request a solution from us.
After contacting Veolia, they requested for a solution that can treat such an issue, after which we provided the treatment in 2 phases, up to 16000 M3/day of treated water within a mobile unit that we implemented in a fast manner.
