Projects in America
Two water treatment plants are being installed in the communities of Bocas del Carare and Isla Renacer. Decentralized solutions are of immense importance for drinking water supply in rural areas.
Projects in Europe
Microplastics are a growing environmental problem. Minute plastic particles are found in food chains and also in the human organism. The aim of the project is to prevent microplastics from entering water bodies.
The "Flash Study" includes currently available research results on the effects of climate change – and resulting changes – on lakes, small water bodies and wetlands in Germany.
Projects in Middle East
In the Jordan Valley, water, which is vital for people and nature, is in short supply. Sufficiently treated wastewater for the irrigation of agricultural land helps to improve the situation.
Projects in Africa
By waiving the cup deposit, soccer fans support the project at every Hannover 96 home game. The donations will go toward repairing groundwater pumps in the Ivory Coast.
Newly installed groundwater pumps supply the students and residents at three schools in the city of Blantyre. The campaign "Drinking Cups for Drinking Water" supports the measures on site.
The self-sufficient supply of groundwater will be ensured with water pipes and the installation of pumps in three villages in the South African community, located north of the Somkhanda Game Reserve.
