On this World Water Day, let’s remember the importance of safe drinking water for all. Today, more than 4 billion people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water. Poor-quality water is responsible for 90% of water-borne diseases. According to current forecasts, universal access to drinking water will not be reached before 2094. To accelerate this change, it is crucial to develop innovative, resilient, inclusive and sustainable solutions.
A SUSTAINABLE COMMITMENT FOR SAFE WATER ACCESS
This dynamic is reflected in our partnership with 1001fontaines, a non profit organization that develops and deploys innovative solutions for access to drinking water worldwide. For over 20 years, 1001fontaines has been meeting the needs of underserved communities through resilient water purification infrastructure and affordable, convenient services, based on the delivery of 20-liter reusable bottles.
1001fontaines’s approach combines impact and sustainability: they build local capacity and ensure that their local partners achieve financial viability. They encourage sustainable behavior change, as illustrated today by the adoption of their solutions by over a million people in four countries where they operate (Cambodia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Madagascar).
A PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON SHARED VALUES
Since 2007, Diehl Metering has supported 1001fontaines in this cause. Initially, we contributed with Corona M meters. This year, we will provide next-generation meters like the ALTAIR, designed for demanding environments and compatible with various water qualities.
Back in 2007, joining this project meant believing in a shared mission: bringing safe water to those who need it most. Over the years, I’ve realized how many children, families, and entire communities still struggle every day for this necessity. Being part of this humanitarian journey has been an honor, knowing that together, we are making a real difference for humanity.

Minimizing water losses is crucial, and we’re proud to contribute our expertise. By leveraging advanced technologies, leak detection enhances water management. Optimizing distribution ensures that every drop counts. Sustainability is strengthened through smart resource management.
JOIN THE MISSION TO PROVIDE SAFE WATER TO SCHOOLS
The Water in School program is a powerful initiative that guarantees children have access to clean drinking water every day at school. For just 2€, 1001fontaines provides a year of safe drinking water. At Diehl Metering, we are committed to helping the next generation. With 1001fontaines, we ensure they have the essentials for a healthy life and empower them to build a sustainable future.
Together, let’s contribute to a future where safe water is a fundamental right for all, not a privilege.
