Water – An essential resource for a future worth living

Water, the blue element: Drees & Sommer recognizes that a future worth living is inseparable from water. How we manage this resource fundamentally determines whether we function as a society. That’s why we engage with essential questions like: 

 

  • How do we make clean drinking water accessible to everyone?
  • How do we integrate sustainable water systems into our cities and communities?
  • How do we manage heavy rainfall effectively?
  • How do we treat wastewater so it can safely be returned to the environment?
  • How do we meet the water demands of industry responsibly? 

Drees & Sommer is driven by a clear ambition: to find better solutions for water as one of our most valuable resources. Our experts bring extensive knowledge to this mission. Working in interdisciplinary teams with people's needs at the center, they develop holistic concepts, advise, plan, and deliver projects.

For Drees & Sommer, sustainability means bringing together economy, ecology, and functionality as one. A future-proof approach to water is central to this mindset, which we call “the blue way".

WASTEWATER

Working closely with treatment plant operators and wastewater infrastructure, we develop holistic solutions that are both technically and organizationally sound. This includes effective wastewater management and treatment processes that meet the requirements of the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.

URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT

Water is a valuable resource in urban development. That’s why we support municipalities and urban planners with solutions for urban water management. A so-called ‘sponge city’ absorbs and stores rainwater, then releases it in a controlled way during dry periods. We stand by our clients from the initial concept through feasibility studies to detailed design.

INDUSTRIAL WATER

Industrial companies aim to cover their water needs cost-effectively. Whether process water, service water, or cooling water, we help them develop sustainable solutions that also account for the demands of public drinking water supply.

DRINKING WATER

As the effects of climate change intensify, providing sufficient drinking water to the population becomes increasingly difficult. We develop solutions that protect resources, strengthen water networks, support water treatment, and improve the distribution of this essential resource.

Sustainable Development Goals, SDG

Sustainable development is closely tied to water. That’s why the SDGs don't treat responsible water management as a single goal but as a core theme embedded across the entire framework. Several goals illustrate this:
