WASTEWATER SERVICES

Globally, huge volumes of wastewater continue to be pumped directly into rivers, streams and oceans. This causes severe damage to the marine environment and does little to preserve water, at a time when global water shortage is a growing. It is also imperative that the right measures are taken to make sure contaminated water is treated properly and recycled wherever possible.
