Water transfers

Water transfers

Water transfers have been used since ancient times to redistribute unequal resources across countries and regions, and to supply urban and rural areas where local resources are insufficient. Such projects nowadays take the form of inter-basin transfers, and must comply with certain environmental criteria to obtain approval from international authorities. Sogreah has a wealth of experience in the technical aspects of such schemes (free surface flows, unsteady flow conditions, water hammer, regulation, etc.) and has designed water transfer canals and pipelines all over the world, as well as overseeing the construction of the various facilities they require (dams, pumping stations, lift stations, tunnels, surge shafts, reservoirs, etc.).
