WATER SUPPLY & TREATMENT
Water is essential for life, and an important ingredient in many business operations. Less than 1% of water in the world is considered accessible and useable. Water is threatened by over-withdrawal and contamination. Even in Canada, water shortages have been experienced in many areas, and changing climates will effect future water supplies.
GreatPacific is trusted to find and access supplies of water, treat it for safe use, convey and distribute it to where it is needed, and find ways to recycle, or conserve its use for a sustainable future.
