On 22 March we celebrate the World Water Day and Molecor joins this initiative promoted by the UN, which has been held since 1993, with the aim of raising awareness of the world's population about water problems. Data speak for themselves, currently more than 2.200 million people living without access to safe water. The lack of water increases social inequality, generates poverty, and slows down economic development by reducing possibilities. A situation that is further aggravated by the effects of climate change and a booming demand driven by population growth.
This year the International Water Day, under the slogan "making the invisible visible", focuses on groundwater, which is critical in our ecosystem as a source of provision for rivers and wetlands. A resource that depends on rain and snow for its livelihood and accounts for almost half of the world's drinking water. The health of our aquifers depends to a large extent on human consumption, livestock, agriculture and other industrial activities. Without them, life on Earth would not be possible. It’s a priority to promote measures that promote their conservation, slow down their depletion and, above all, prevent pollution and overexploitation. We need to find a balance between renewal capacity and consumption, without altering the natural water cycle.
Molecor, a specialist in water transport solutions for infrastructure and edification, plays an important role in channeling water, contributing to the development of more efficient and sustainable water networks. As a manufacturer of pipes, fittings, manholes, etc we activate the ecological transition by providing efficient and respectful systems through innovative products that incorporate ecology in their design and conception.
The very activity of the business and its philosophy trace the route along the path of the environment and sustainability. A route that coincides with the interests set out in 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), approved in the 2030 Agenda by the Member States of the United Nations. Among the shared challenges is founded ensuring access to drinking water and sanitation for all. By directing efforts in the same line, we seek to respond to today's global needs: eradicating poverty, protecting the planet and improving the well-being of citizens.
Water is fundamental for life and each one of us, both as individuals and as a society, is responsible for its care, protection and saving. It is up to all of us to continue on the path of sustainable development and to cooperate in the efficient management of water resources. The solution lies in our hands.
