The history of water treatment engineering constitutes a rich scientific and technical adventure whose pioneerswere inventors, hydraulic experts, engineers and architects.

In the 19th century public authorities began to address the challenge of providing good quality drinking water and wastewater collection for the health and welfare of the people. The creation of the Compagnie Générale des Eaux, more than 150 years ago, contributed strongly to this major progress, today conferring on Veolia Water its position of world leader in all water services.

In the same vein, Veolia Water Solutions & Technologiesbenefits from over 70 years of international experience built upon a range of market leadingbrands. Today, Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies is the world's leading water treatmentspecialist, looking towards the future and continuing to offer the best services to its customers.

Technological excellence, based on the research capabilities of Veolia Environnement,the world number one in environmental services, is the cornerstone of the Veolia Water Solutions& Technologies offering. It guarantees each client a very high level of technical creativity and differentiating innovation, reflected through a portfolio of processes whose quality is supported by a prestigious track record of international references.

Providing a bridge between traditional expertise and a high-tech future, Veolia Water Solutions& Technologies is recognised as the leading creator of water treatment solutions, thus makingit a natural partner for municipalities and industrial clients.
