Water and Sanitation
The semi-arid Middle East suffers from a chronic lack of water caused by climate change, drought, growing cities, over-consumption, waste and pollution.
For nearly four decades, water access and sewage management have been at the heart of ANERA’s programs across the Middle East. From erecting reservoirs to installing new toilets in schools, our engineers know the range and scope of the problems their communities face and have the expertise to fix them.
