The Importance of World Water Day: Ensuring Clean Water for All

Water, the lifeblood of our society, plays an integral role in our daily lives, influencing everything from our morning routines to global water distribution and treatment strategies. For over three decades, the United Nations (U.N) has been at the forefront of addressing global water issues, providing recommendations and strategies for the betterment of humankind. This World Water Day, we look at the significance of global partnerships and cooperation in water management and treatment, with a focus on Allmach's commitment to technological advancements for safe and efficient water distribution through its innovative piping solutions and products.

Global Challenges in Drinking and Sanitary Water Services: A Call to Action


The U.N. continues to focus on the fundamental human right to clean water and sanitation. Around 26 per cent of the world's population lacks access to safe drinking water, and 46 per cent do not have secure access to toilets. The least developed countries, particularly those in fragile contexts of war and poverty, face the greatest challenges in meeting these goals.

Allmach recognises the global importance of water management and how it impacts us locally. Justin Allingham, Allmach’s Technical Sales Manager reflects on this position:

    “By taking part in OzWater24 on the heels of World Water Day, Allmach continually looks at insights from global and local perspectives, integrating best practices to enhance water distribution and treatment across major cities and rural communities in Australia” says Justin.

    Wastewater Management: A Global Responsibility


    The rise in populations, economic growth, and agricultural production has escalated water consumption and wastewater discharge. Developing countries often lack the infrastructure to treat wastewater adequately, leading to significant environmental discharges. Over 80 per cent of the world's wastewater is discharged untreated, affecting more than 2 billion people who use contaminated drinking water, risking various diseases.

    Allmach's commitment to sustainable wastewater management aligns with global, regional, and national partnerships. By promoting advanced wastewater treatment and maximising limited resources through regional cooperation, Allmach contributes to addressing this critical global issue.

    In fact, Allmach put this philosophy into action last year, through its charitable work in contributing to the creation of a sanitary water source for one community in Tanzania, Africa.

    Stainless Steel Pressfit: A Pinnacle in Clean Water Distribution


    The use of stainless steel pressfit stands out as a worldwide leader in ensuring clean and safe water distribution. Used across the U.K. and Europe as the water piping distribution method of choice, stainless steel piping, combined with the ingenuity of Surepress’ pressfit crimping method to create leak-free/weld-free pipe joints, far outweighs dated distribution methods. Stainless steel piping, with its smooth surface and oxidation resistance, makes it ideal for maintaining hygiene in food manufacturing and drinking water distribution.

    The strength and durability of this system provide a stable and secure connection along the entire length of water mains. As the exclusive distributor of Surepress and Gardus across Australia and New Zealand, Allmach contributes to safe and efficient water distribution while focusing on water-saving efforts as a premier piping supply provider.

    Allmach’s Gardus solution features dual containment hose used for chemical dosing in water treatment plants, providing safe and efficient distribution of chemicals to treat the wastewater without the risk of leakage.

    Gardus leak-detect dual containment hoses protect both personnel and the environment through its proprietary design features. In the unlikely event of a leak, both audible and visual alarms are triggered. The system is wired into the main PCL control to shut off the pump instantly, dramatically reducing any impacts to the environment resulting from leaking chemicals.

    With a focus on safety and efficiency, Allmach's Gardus and Surepress pipes embody the ongoing efforts in water treatment and conservation that World Water Day and Ozwater stand for.

    A Collective Effort for a Water-Secure Future


    As we recognise World Water Day and approach Ozwater’24, we are all reminded of the significance of addressing both global and local challenges on water sanitation, distribution, and availability for more effective water management.

    Allmach, through its commitment to innovation and collaboration, plays a vital role in addressing these challenges. With an emphasis on partnerships, technological advancements, and sustainable practices, we move toward a future where one day, clean water will be accessible to all.
