Water shortage - Solutions

Wilo Solutions for Water Shortages

Water scarcity is one of the most pressing issues of our time. We see it as our obligation to develop solutions for the responsible use of water. In doing so, we combat water scarcity in various projects around the world.

We strongly believe that access to clean water is a basic human right. Our mission is to provide as many people as possible with a safe access to water. That's why we use our knowledge, technology, and dedication to shape a sustainable future. Read more about our solutions for successful water management here.

The aim of the investment was to build an ecological heating network in the municipality of Potęgowo. This also included the modernisation of existing heating substations and the planned construction of new substations in existing plants where coal-fired boiler houses were to be decommissioned. The aim was to reduce environmental pollution and increase the use of renewable energy for heating purposes. The biogas plant produces electricity from organic materials, including waste from agriculture and the food industry. A by-product of this process is heat, which the plant utilises for its own purposes. Reducing pollution is crucial for the health of our planet and its inhabitants. In addition, the use of renewable energy promotes sustainability and reduces dependence on fossil fuels, contributing to a more stable and healthier environment in the long term.

Agriculture serves as the backbone of the Indian economy, with much of its practices still reliant on the monsoon rains. The primary objective of the Narmada-Malwa-Ghambhir Link Project is to address water scarcity in the upper reaches of the Chambal basin, where irrigation levels stand at a mere 5.54 per cent of the cultivable area. This project aims to provide irrigation facilities to approximately 50,000 hectares of Command Area (CCA) in the Malwa region's Indore and Ujjain districts, while also supplying water for domestic and industrial use. This initiative directly benefits over 150 villages. Wilo India takes pride in contributing its technological solutions to projects aimed at fostering a sustainable future.The Wilo-Vertical turbine was installed to meet the requirements of the project.

Today's megatrends are increasingly leading to the need to rethink buildings. Innovation and sustainability must be efficiently combined for successful building management. Green Wilo pumps contribute to the overall efficiency of the new headquarters of Ireland's Central Bank in Dublin - from heating and cooling to cold water supply and products for rainwater harvesting. Central Bank campus is a green building, certified by BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method. The bank itself had set a number of objectives when it came to the sustainability of the building – one of the main requirements was to only provide high-efficient pumps with efficiency class IE4 to ensure compliance with BREEAM criteria. Central Bank set a number of objectives for the design of the building: e.g. to ensure the environmental sustainability. ​ In order to fulfil the high criteria of the Central Bank, the Wilo-Stratos GIGA, Wilo-SiBoost Smart Helix VE and Wilo-Drain TP65 were installed.

The city of Prague plans to reduce the energy consumption of select buildings by at least 12 per cent. Simultaneously, the city aims to achieve a saving of 37,615 tonnes of CO2 through improved energy efficiency. To significantly lower the expenses associated with heating and hot water supply at the Obecní dům Municipal House in Prague, 22 pumps have been upgraded with highly efficient products. These were selected for their innovative Dynamic Adapt Plus function, offering additional savings compared to other contemporary pump models. The Wilo-Stratos MAXO, Wilo-Stratos MAXO-Z and Wilo-Stratos GIGA-D were installed there in order to help achieve the city's objectvies.

The innovative "smart heating cellar" within the recently constructed European education center building in Bochum, Germany, demonstrates the potential for making energy-efficient technology even more effective through intelligent networking. A key component of this groundbreaking research initiative is the Wilo-Stratos MAXO. The "smart heating cellar" serves as a platform for investigating the efficient generation and distribution of heat and cold within buildings. The outcomes of this research aim not only to enhance the indoor climate of new constructions but also to yield tangible findings in the field of intelligent building management. To achieve the goals of this building, the Wilo-Stratos MAXO and Wilo-Stratos GIGA have been installed.

Pangyo Alphadom City is an entirely new, future-oriented town in the Seongnam satellite city of Seoul, South Korea. It consists of commercial buildings such as department stores & shopping malls, restaurants, offices, hotels and residential buildings. These various types of buildings have different requirements. But all buildings in this futuristic city need a highly efficient and successful water solution. Wilo supplied 130 pumps in the fields of water supply, heating and air conditioning, firefighting and drainage to meet this challenge. The pumps that are used in this profject are Wilo-CronoLine-IL and Wilo-PD.

The installation Ara Schönau collects sewage water in the catchement area of the three lakes in its associated municipalities. From there the water is channeled to the central wastewater treatment plant Schönau in Cham below Lake Zug where it is reprocessed. Recently the installation has undergone an expansion for the elimination of micropollutants. The sewage water is raised by the pumping station and fed to the reactor basin, which has two lines, for mixing in the powdered activated carbon.​ In order for the wastewater installation to function successfully, the Wilo-EMU FA 25.93D and FKT 27.2-8/40K-E3 pumps have been implemented in the installation.

The Plovdici dam in Bulgaria provides clean drinking water to almost 40,000 residents in 30 populated areas of Rudozem, Madan Region and Central Rhodopi.
"Plovdici" is the first drinking water dam built in Bulgaria in almost 30 years and equipped with a modern drinking water treatment plant. The installation and all its technologies provide users with better water service. Wilo Bulgaria was chosen as the main supplier of pumping equipment for all technological processes, domestic needs and fire protection needs. The products for this facility are the Wilo-SiBoost Smart 3HELIX VE, Wilo-NL pumps and Wilo-Comfort CO-2 Helix V.

In order to significantly reduce the risk of pollution and improve living conditions, in the town of Ureki, the local government commissioned the construction of a water treatment plant.

This is major project has a huge impact on local communities by ensuring a continuous water supply. The entire project includes the Wilo-EMU FA, Wilo-EMUport, ​Wilo-CronoNorm-NLG, ​Wilo-Sub TWI and Wilo-Zetos, to achieve the goals of an improved water supply, drainage and sewage.
