Dow Bon Accord, South Africa

Working together with Dow Bon Accord, a local village enjoys safe drinking water.

THE CHALLENGE

Dow Bon Accord needed to provide potable water to inhabitants of a local South African village. The nearest water source to the settlement was an irrigation canal, which was fed from a neighbouring dam.

OUR SOLUTION
