Context
Since 1991, the International Office for Water has relied on a multidisciplinary team specialized in the various water sectors: 120 permanent experts can assist the stakeholders and project owners in defining, planning and implementing their projects.
Professionals in small or large local authorities, who work in drinking water supply, (community, on-site, stormwater, etc.) sanitation, integrated water resource management, environment, waste, etc., request the advice and support of our team for the evaluation of structures or programs, project management, optimization of a service, etc.

An example of a study: Assistance to a project owner in Drinking Water Supply (DWS)
A Rural Intermunicipal Syndicate takes responsibility for Drinking Water Supply (DWS) through the management of water resources constituted by a secure catchment area for a surface water intake under an exchange agreement. For some, interconnections and mixtures are used for the main intakes before distribution.
- Drafting of a summary descriptive synthesis of the technical, health and economic issues and, more specifically, of the management and organization of resources and of the trends in quality and quantity available through the intakes;
- Specifying the definition and outline of a dialogue for an overall DWS master plan for the syndicate, and scheduling work on the catchment-supply networks allowing economic projections to balance services and water prices;
- Monitoring and validation of the execution of the previous dialogue, from an administrative, technical and financial point of view
