SUMS celebrates World Water Day 2024
On World Water Day 2024, we again turn our attention to one of the most precious resources on the planet – water. This year’s World Water Day theme, Water for Peace, emphasises water’s vital role in nurturing cooperation, stability, and peace in the world. In this context, adopting sustainable water practices takes on added significance, and SUMS smart utility solutions stand out as a beacon of innovation and resource savings.
