WaterAid forms partnership with water tech firm in India

WaterAid has partnered with global technology specialist Halma on a two year campaign which will provide 8,000 people in India with clean drinking water.


The partnership will focus on two areas in north east India: Bhagalpur and Buxar, where only 15% and 3% of the population respectively have access to piped water supply in the community, and just 1% of people in both districts have piped water in their homes. 97% of those in Buxar have access to water that is drawn through arsenic-affected shallow pumps.


As part of the partnership, Halma – which has six water analysis, treatment and monitoring companies in its group (Palintest, Sensorex, HWM, Hydreka, MiniCam and UV Group) – will donate a minimum of £200,000 of funds, as well as its own water quality treatment technology. The group will also galvanize its 45+ companies to conserve their own water usage and wastewater emissions to help reduce its climate impact as a global business.
