Water, Irrigation & WASH
Reliable, climate-resilient, and financially sustainable water systems — across supply, irrigation, sanitation, and WASH.
The Challenge
Water infrastructure is fundamental to public health, economic development, food security, and climate resilience. Yet utilities, governments, and development partners face mounting pressure from population growth, aging infrastructure, water scarcity, and changing climate conditions.
Expanding access alone is no longer sufficient. Systems must also be reliable, financially sustainable, and climate resilient.
How We Support Clients
Our work spans the full water infrastructure lifecycle — from planning and investment preparation to implementation, utility strengthening, and long-term service delivery.
We help governments, utilities, river basin authorities, irrigation agencies, and development partners plan, develop, implement, and monitor water, irrigation, sanitation, and WASH programs.
Focus Areas
Water supply systems serving urban communities through groundwater development, treatment facilities, storage infrastructure, and distribution networks.
Engineering surveys, detailed design, environmental assessment, and implementation support for large-scale irrigation rehabilitation and modernization.
Monitoring, quality assurance, safeguards support, and implementation oversight for WASH programs serving communities, schools, and health facilities.
Sanitation master planning, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and phased investment planning.
Climate risk assessment, adaptation planning, and integration of climate resilience into water infrastructure.
Operational improvement, service delivery enhancement, revenue improvement, non-revenue water reduction, and institutional capacity development.
Key Markets
Five water-sector market segments where DV delivers advisory, technical, and field-based support.
Groundwater development, treatment, storage, and distribution networks.
Canal rehabilitation, modernization, and climate-resilient agricultural water management.
Master planning, treatment systems, and stormwater management.

Why Clients Work With DV
Long-term water security depends as much on utility performance and governance as on physical infrastructure. Sustainable service delivery requires both engineering solutions and institutional capability.
Water infrastructure performs best when engineering, environmental stewardship, operational performance, institutional capacity, and community needs remain aligned.
