Summary note: Information meeting – Enhanced drought alert in the Boulonnais

AQUIMER recently hosted at its premises an information meeting dedicated to the issue of drought in the Boulonnais, a topic that has become a major concern for local businesses. The event brought together several key stakeholders, including Veolia, the DREAL, the DDTM, as well as the companies Frais Embal and Copalis, who came to share their feedback and solutions in response to the increasing scarcity of water resources.

In a context of heightened drought, local businesses are now directly affected by new restrictions on water use. The aim of this meeting was to provide them with a clearer understanding and practical avenues for adaptation, through several key highlights:

💧 Understand the area’s hydro-geographical context thanks to Veolia’s expertise.
⚖️ Decode the regulations and their impacts on industrial activities with the DREAL and the DDTM.
📄 Review possible exemptions and the conditions for obtaining them.
🏭 Discover feedback from Frais Embal and Copalis, two industrial players committed to more sustainable water management.
🤝 Talk directly with government services and local businesses to identify practical solutions together.
