Raising awareness is indispensable to prove water's worth, says water ethics director Hossam El-Imam.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s investments in 42 drinking and tap water projects reached 2m Euros since 2013.

“The bank is focused on a programme that improves the capacity of water usage and achieves economic, social, and environmental benefits,” said Hana Khaled, first sector banker at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
