1. What are water and wastewater?
Water is the primary source of life. It is tasteless, odourless, inorganic, and a transparent chemical substance that falls under one of the main constituents of Earth’s hydrosphere. Even though it provides close to zero organic nutrients or calories, it is essential for all life forms.
However, to utilise used water, also known as wastewater, more efficiently, there is a dire need to modernise core piping and pumping networks and wastewater management solutions.
Schneider Electric aims to bridge the gap between sustainability and progress. Benefits of water and wastewater solutions offered by our experts include increased operational sustainability, lower risk, reduced implementation costs, and a smarter workforce.
2. How can we manage water resources?
Managing water resources can be an overwhelming task for any company or organisation; it deals with developing, planning, distributing, and managing optimal water resources.
Schneider Electric offers a range of water resource solutions to rectify crucial challenges like modernised pipelines and water treatment plants under a limited budget. Delivering sustainable quantities of water and efficient management of infrastructure are our priorities.
Our IoT-enabled platform, EcoStruxure, offers a wide variety of water and wastewater solutions that effectively enhance applications and processes across the water cycle by providing Connected Products, Edge Control, Apps, Analytics, and Services.
3. What do wastewater treatment plants do?
Water treatment plants are responsible for cleansing and purifying water and sewage to be reusable for society in a way that doesn’t damage the environment. In addition, these plants are responsible for restoring oxygen content, removing pollutants and solids, and breaking down organic matter.
Schneider Electric provides diverse solutions for sustainable water treatment plants, including plant management, services, asset performance, electrical distribution, automation and control, and motor control. These solutions, coupled with an intelligent set of software solutions, manage quality, power, information, workforce, and energy that helps you make better and safer decisions.
Increased demand and the threat of climate change make water management one of the biggest challenges in the coming years. Building next-generation Water and Wastewater systems requires bold steps to address issues, including leakage, water quality, customer satisfaction, service interruption, and energy savings. We have the opportunity to accelerate the drive toward a zero-emissions future, bridging process and sustainability to meet end consumers’ expectations for quality and traceability. Together with our partners, we deliver energy management and automation digital solutions for the industry that supplies water to the world.

Toward carbon reduction
A practical approach to improve energy efficiency and move toward carbon neutrality with digital
The Water and Wastewater industry contributes to global warming as it requires a great deal of energy to treat and distribute water and it generates direct greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. Our solutions can help our customers increase energy efficiency, move toward energy transition, and decarbonise the infrastructure with the final goal of achieving high quality carbon removal.
Zero water waste
A practical approach to enable water efficiency and resilience with digital
To address new climate change disasters and a new regulatory environment, the management of the water infrastructure demands innovative ways to ensure continuity of service, optimal performance, reliability of assets, efficient operations, and digital security. Depending on types of challenges and vulnerabilities associated with the management of the Water and Wastewater infrastructure, we’ve designed solutions based on digital technologies to enable more connected, efficient, and responsive water systems and services for end-to-end management across the whole water cycle.
