Xylem Responds to Lombok Earthquakes in Relief Efforts

Xylem Watermark was involved in the immediate response in asking how they could help the people of Lombok after the devastation of the recent earthquakes that left the island devastated. Three AquaTowers were deployed with their support – bringing thousands of people access to clean, safe water. Thousands of families were evacuated to hillside camps after their homes were destroyed, living in tents without electricity or running water that are shared with many other families.

Xylem has been working closely with disaster relief efforts to provide life changing impact to those in need across the globe.
