Drinking water: at the heart of all our innovations
Water in its natural state is rarely of a quality optimal to maintain human health.
Delivering quality drinking water via public networks to private taps requires :
- distribution technologies
- treatment technologies
Our technologies are based on over a century of experience and we continually improve them with the help of our private and public customers. Veolia Water Technologies designs and develops treatments guaranteeing the safety of drinking water.
By using state-of-the-art technologies, we optimize the water cycle while limiting carbon footprint and reducing the impact on water resources.
Drinking water produced by Veolia Water Technologies has guaranteed traceability, which ensures the quality and preservation of water using a range of measurement tools and indicators. These methods ensure that real-time monitoring of water quality takes place – from the treatment plant to the distribution network.
Drinking water produced by Veolia Water Technologies comes from systems certified to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Our systems also have a health certificate issued by the Directorate General of Health (ACS) in France. These guarantees are at the heart of Veolia Water Technologies' business and our commitments to sustainable development.

Clarification and purification
Water drawn from the natural environment is loaded with :
- suspended solids
- mineral substances
- organic substances
Depending on the concentration levels of these substances in the water, there are different water clarification operations that can be performed to render it safe to drink.
The decantation and flocculation / coagulation techniques put in place by Veolia Water Technologies guarantee the best solution at the best price for our customers.
Softening
Veolia Water Technologies uses OPADOU™ ion exchange systems to soften drinking water. This step is necessary for reducing calcium and magnesium hardness.
Disinfection
The drinking water we produce also undergoes specific treatments to remove the most harmful substances to organisms:
- arsenic
- uranium
- nitrates
- endocrine disruptors
- total organic carbon
- etc.
Desalination
Veolia Water Technologies is the world leader in seawater desalination. Our technologies help us provide populations with drinking water, even in the driest areas.
Purification
Water purification is an essential step in making the resource drinkable. It relies on various advanced technologies to remove harmful micro-particles and associated impurities – whether they are of mineral or organic origin.
