Manifesto

Pascal & Yves, Water Connect founders

Manifesto

Our mission is to transform urban spaces into islands of coolness and well-being for a more climate-resilient urban future. Our systems are designed around three fundamental principles.

Universal accessibility: Everyone needs access to fresh, relaxing spaces in urban environments. Thanks to their inclusive design, our features incorporate universal functionality. We create spaces where children, the elderly and the disabled can gather and refresh themselves.

Sustainable development: Sustainable development is at the heart of our approach. Every aspect of our installations, from design to manufacturing, is designed to protect the environment. Our devices use intelligent water management systems to ensure optimal, responsible use.

Innovation: Innovation is the driving force behind our company. Our fountains incorporate smart, connected technologies that enable autonomous, efficient water management. Our innovations have won us numerous awards and distinctions, testifying to our commitment to preserving this precious resource.

Water Connect CSR

Our approach focuses on several key areas:

Environment: Water Connect develops innovative solutions to combat extreme heat while guaranteeing low water consumption. Our cool islands are eco-designed to be environmentally friendly, while meeting many of the criteria of public policies on ecological transition.

Social: The company makes a point of creating spaces that are inclusive and accessible to all, including the mobility-impaired and visually impaired. The Universal modular fountain Mat Source is intergenerational, offering a genuine place for people to meet and exchange ideas, with a single multifunctional device.

Economical: Our company aims to optimize the use of resources, notably water and energy, to promote sustainable urban development.
The Universal modular fountain Mat Source enables water to be managed on a plot-by-plot basis, and unused water to be returned through evapotranspiration.
