Support & Cooperation
Support and Cooperation is a long-standing area of expertise for OiEau, allowing us to effectively support the implementation of institutional and technical actions, at all levels of local and central government, in France and worldwide.
Our association, which operates in more than 80 countries, offers a range of services geared towards integrated, sustainable, innovative, ecosystem-based water management, helping to address climate change and biodiversity challenges in your region.
OiEau provides technical support through a wide variety of assignments, working with contracting authorities, local and basin authorities, industrial companies and research organisations.
Our highly specialised teams are capable of designing specific, high-quality, independent assistance for every need: providing technical expertise or strategy and planning advice, coordinating innovative European projects, drawing up directives and technical guides, running pilot treatability studies, testing innovative solutions, and more.
OiEau also provides institutional support and advice to help governments and basin organisations develop the permanent local organisation, management and operation capabilities needed to preserve water resources and foster integrated management.
As an organisation recognised by the French and international water community, OiEau also contributes to building a discussion network and partnerships comprising stakeholders with broad and varied profiles, as a way to harness the full range of available expertise in addressing the most complex challenges.
