OUTSTANDING RESULTS
In Shanghai, Veolia holds one of China's largest public-private partnership contracts to manage a drinking water utility. In the Pudong district, the population has increased by more than 1.5 million people since 2002.
The water distribution network has doubled in size, with production now at nearly 1.6 million cubic meters a day, more than twice that of a city like Paris. Veolia now supplies more water to people in China than anywhere else in the world.
MONITORING A 4,823 KM NETWORK IN REAL TIME
The water utility has a control center featuring the latest network management tools. This technology monitors the 34 sectors of the drinking water distribution network in real time, with 400 sensors used to locate and display any leaks or contamination. In just a few clicks, network operatives can pull up a 3D view of all facilities, complete with relevant technical specifications. The system is linked to the customer relations center and can provide updates for local residents by telephone, e-mail or text message.
