In the face of increasingly frequent droughts and other natural hazards, more and more decision-makers are turning to Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). This approach promotes the sustainable management and development of water resources, whilst at the same time taking different social, economic and environmental factors and issues into consideration.
It implies the active involvement of stakeholders at all levels, in order to ensure proper governance and encourage fair and sustainable decision-making.
SCP has adopted a responsible approach to meet the challenges and objectives of IWRM, with a view to tackling current and future water-resource issues (diminishing stocks, quality deterioration, watershed management, and conservation of aquatic ecosystems).
Drawing on its broad experience in France and around the world, SCP is committed to helping regional stakeholders prepare action plans and adaptive solutions, through the adoption of a consultation-based and participatory approach.

Our added value
Our hallmarks : proximity and quality
SCP is well aware that integrated water resource management relies on a collective, participatory process, and believes strongly that fieldwork at the local level is the best way to encourage consultation between different stakeholders and users in the water sector. The company organizes and holds strategy meetings, consultative workshops and training sessions, thus ensuring that participants understand how IWRM works and what areas it covers, as well as enabling them to set targets for proper water governance.
Operational management for water providers
In order to continually improve and optimise water management, we can advise you on all the technical and contractual aspects of your activity, including pricing, contract management, and water rights.
