The Value of Water: What Does Water Mean to You?

Water is one of the most valuable resources we have. It supports life across the planet and is integral in our daily lives. To celebrate World Water Day and inspire an on-going conversation about the importance of protecting water, we've asked our co-workers and partners a very important question - what does water mean to you?

"The February 2021 extreme weather events in Texas highlighted the vulnerability of our water supply systems. Our growing population and semiarid climate further underscore the need for water conservation, good water governance, and collective action projects to ensure long-term water security for the state."

"As a mom of two and a Hydrologist, water means a future. In my work to protect water quality and quantity, I keep in mind that I am doing this not only to improve the current situation, but also for my kids and all children. Water is the key to life of next generations"

"Water is essential for Life. Water is the driving force of all nature."

Hilton Lucio

Title: CEO
Company: Antea Group, Brasil

"Just before Christmas, my family and I rented a small cabin in the mountains. A couple meters from the cabin was a very nice mountain river with pristine water. It was really good for our sanity. Water is fundamental for health. Environmental and ecological health, economical health and, very important over these days, our health."

Krishna Kant Gupta

"Water is natures’ most important gift to humans and Antea Group in India made consistent efforts to establish itself in the water and urban business segment and deliver innovative solutions in hydraulic modelling, flood mapping, climate adaptation, inland water transport and waste water treatment. Personally, I have devoted more than 25 years of my career towards sustainable development of water and supported various initiatives."

And to wrap it all up and express our appreciation for water, enjoy a water Haiku by Antea Group's own, Julie Mouton: 

Peaceful and soothing.
Often taken for granted.
It deserves our love.
