This is what the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.normagroup.com\/tag\/clean-water\/\">NORMA Clean Water<\/a>\u201d project stands for. It is an undertaking that NORMA Group has been using to actively improve the living conditions of people in Brazil since 2017.<\/p><p>Climate change has also resulted in an increase in droughts and floods in the Cod\u00f3 and Peritor\u00f3 project areas. Through the construction of water supply systems, the development of community gardens and the implementation of workshops to teach basic hygiene practices, the project reached approximately 4,330 people in the second phase, including 1,464 children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fd302eb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fd302eb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b6effa1\" data-id=\"b6effa1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9abfcc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9abfcc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.normagroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/norma-group-blog-water-supply-plan-international-germany.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Girl opening a tap in the NORMA Group water supply project\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a49c526 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a49c526\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-669a483\" data-id=\"669a483\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f40a0c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f40a0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>A look at the future<\/strong><\/h2><p>At NORMA Group, we provide solutions to some of the world&#8217;s most pressing global challenges and are driving them forward through innovation.
