In the coming decades, water management will be a major challenge – for agriculture, energy, tourism, drinking water, and the environment. This is especially true for the canton of Valais, considered as Switzerland’s reservoir.
With the aim of conserving and recycling this precious resource, Alpiq launched the #prixalpiq in partnership with the Association of Valais Concession-Granting Communes (Association des communes concédantes du Valais – ACC). Each year, this prize rewards two projects sponsored by Valais municipalities, which preserve and optimise the use of water resources in Valais. It thus enables the implementation of concrete solutions.
The #prixalpiq is aimed at Valais municipalities, universities, research centres, companies, start-ups and anyone with an idea or a project related to sustainable water management in Valais.
