HELPING OUR PARTNERS TO DELIVER SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE WATER
SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE
Acacia Water is a small social enterprise based in The Netherlands with the mission to improve worldwide access to clean and safe water through smart, sustainable and practical solutions for better water management and access for all.
Acacia Water is convinced there is enough water available for everyone. However, three factors are essential to address when approaching WASH related topics: 1) the quantity of the demand and the various user groups; 2) the preconditions set by the landscape and hydrological systems; and 3) the technical specific benefits and limitation of interventions. The power of our services lies in the integration of these elements and the ability to pass such knowledge to improve local capacity, both in a development program as well as emergency response.
