Value of Water Community
In 2019, TEHA Group established the Value of Water Community with the goal of involving the different players of the extended water supply chain (network managers, service providers, representatives of the world of agriculture, industrial players, technology providers, software developers, etc.) and the relevant Italian and European institutions, with a view to establishing a constructive, permanent dialogue
Our Mission
“To be the Think Tank of reference for the development of scenarios, strategies, best practices and policies for the extended water supply chain in Italy and the optimization of its development at the national, regional and municipal level so that the country can become a benchmark of reference in Europe and worldwide”
Today, more than ever, an efficient and sustainable water supply chain is indispensable for the future of all areas and is becoming increasingly important on a systemic level. It is fundamental, therefore, to have a vision and strategy capable of bringing together the contributions of all players in the extended water supply chain. Managing climate change and elaborating adaptation strategies is strongly related to water resource management.
8th edition - 2026/2027
The Community will continue working on several projects:
- Value of Water Observatory, which collected data on water management in Italy
- Action Proposals for the development of the extended water supply chain, defined by analysing the obstacles and the implementation of actions and initiatives
- international networking through the analysis of international benchmarks and meetings with actors of the extended water supply chain from abroad
Throughout the year, meetings will be held between the Community’s partner companies and the relevant European, national, regional, and local institutions. Moreover, three thematic focus groups will also be organized to foster discussion and the exchange of experiences and knowledge among stakeholders in the supply chain.
The initiative will conclude with the annual Forum, to be held in Rome on March 10 and 11, 2027.
