Aix-Marseille University (CEREGE laboratory) supports companies in implementing water efficiency.

Following the droughts in the summers of 2022 and 2023, and against a backdrop where the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is predicting a risk of water shortages for more than a third of the population with a temperature rise of +2°C. France has also put in place a plan which, among other things, sets a water-saving target of -10% for all players by 2030.

Aix-Marseille University (CEREGE laboratory) and its partners are setting up a scheme to reduce water consumption through the European Interreg Alcotra Goutte à Goutte / Goccia a Goccia project.

This project began on 9 October 2023 and will run for 3 years. It will provide a better understanding of water consumption in businesses, provide training and raise awareness of good practice, and install test facilities to reduce consumption.

This project, with a total budget of €1,978,532.80, is receiving funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the Interreg V-A France-Italy ALCOTRA 2021-2027 programme.
