Aid for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake

The Veolia Environnement Foundation, through the emergency actions of Veoliaforce, provides the company's skills to help victims during emergencies. The earthquake that ravaged Sichuan province, China, in May 2008 completely disrupted water supply following the destruction of water sources and networks.
Veolia Water in China and Veoliaforce pooled their efforts and their technical skills to install three mobile water treatment units in the space of a few days (Aquaforce units developed by Veoliaforce). This enabled 15,000 people to be supplied in three localities.
At the request of Unicef, for which Veoliaforce is a standby partner, another mission was organized in July to install five additional treatment units and train 12 local technicians and operators to run them.
