World Water Day 2025
By now, it’s hard not to notice that climate change is already part of our daily lives. Extreme heat waves, unexpected cold spells and severe weather events have become increasingly frequent. But in the midst of so many discussions on this topic, one fundamental aspect still receives little attention: the relationship between water and climate change. On World Water Day, let’s talk about it!
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating deforestation are undoubtedly essential strategies in the fight against climate change. However, one of the most critical points in this debate is the management of water resources, a determining factor for climate resilience.
According to the latest Water Resources Situation Report in Brazil by the ANA (National Water and Sanitation Agency), some regions in Brazil could lose up to 40% of their water by 2040.
Rising temperatures and irregular rainfall directly affect water sources, reducing water availability and compromising water security. In addition, deforestation and the disorderly growth of cities intensify the degradation of water resources, making the crisis even more worrying.
In addition, excess water in extreme hydrological events also compromises water quality, causing floods that overload sanitation systems and spread pollutants. We see this clearly in situations such as the tragic historic flood that occurred in Rio Grande do Sul last year, where, ironically, one of the most needed items among the donations was drinking water itself.
It is worth noting that Law 9.433/97in its article 1, establishes that, in situations of scarcity, the priority use of water resources must be for human consumption. This principle reinforces the need for effective strategies to guarantee access to drinking water for the entire population, avoiding severe impacts on supply and people’s quality of life.
Without the adoption of effective measures to conserve and reuse of waterthe socio-economic impacts can be devastating, affecting both industry and urban supply.
This year’s COP 30, the world’s largest environmental event to be held in Brazil, is expected to bring an intense debate on water reuse and conservation. This is a fundamental issue, and we at EPwe have the expertise and solutions to make a significant contribution.
Water reuse: from alternative to necessity
With over 50 years’ experience, EP transforms environmental challenges into innovative solutions. Our commitment to sustainability and efficient water management makes us a strategic partner for companies seeking to reduce environmental impacts and optimize water resources.
We believe that water reuse is not just an alternative, but an urgent necessity. That’s why we have developed advanced technologies to effluent treatmentsuch as membrane filtration, biological processes e disinfectionallowing companies to reduce their consumption of drinking water, minimize waste and ensure environmental compliance.
Faced with a scenario in which water security is becoming an ever greater challenge, it is essential that industries, cities and governments prepare for the future. World Water Day reminds us that the time to act is now. How is your company preparing for this reality?
At EP, we enable businesses to make their water consumption more sustainable. Because for us, treated water is preserved water. We are driven by water and we want to transform your company’s water management.
