The scarceness
of the resource water requires a comprehensive approach,
involving the prospecting of new sources, the efficient
utilisation, the appropriate design, implementation, and
operation of service facilities, and the effective management of
corresponding resources. Sensitization and participation of
beneficiaries in all stages of a project cycle are essential to
achieve a responsible attitude towards water as an economic
commodity.
In the field of
water resources development GITEC conducts hydro-logical,
hydrogeological and water quality investigations and analysis,
utilizing geophysical measurements and satellite imagery for
modelling and GIS applications. In urban areas emphasis is
placed on EDP-based inventory and inspection of the system
infrastructure and EDP-supported design for rehabilitation and
extension measures.
Operation
and maintenance management is included in GITEC's services to
ensure sustainability of investments. In-depth expertise is
available for de-centralized and demand driven supply and
disposal systems in rural areas which are to be constructed,
operated and maintained on a community base.
Services on
irrigation and drainage projects are concentrating on efficient
utilization of water resources including the reuse of treated
wastewater. GITEC is one of the leading companies in providing
technical assistance services for the Operation and Maintenance
