Europe invests in water

摘要

Water distribution, sanitation and purification require huge investments, whether to develop and modernise installations in Europe or to give non-EU countries, especially the vulnerable developing nations (drought and/or floods, lack of access to drinking water and sanitation) the opportunity to develop their own water capacities and infrastructures. The EU considers water to be a priority issue in its environment and development policies and has consequently set up a number of instruments providing the financial means for its ambitions.
