How is Veolia Viewed? Clients- many consumers such as industrial clients are greatful for the Veolia Water Company because the company helps to operate all or a portion of their water cycle, thus enabling them to focus more on the core of their own businesses. Water conservationalists- Many are in favor of Veolia Water because they aim to improve conservation of the natural environment and the prevention of health risks while also keeping costs to a minimum. (work with politics) Me- I think that Veolia Water is an outstanding water company because they provide access to fresh water and wastewater services for all, as well as providing consumers with modern Customer Service Centers worldwide.

The World Bank has created the Water Partnership Program to help in the assistence of prividing water to all in need. The World Bank is influenced by the concerned the goal of fighting poverty worldwide. The World Bank exerts this influence by creating programs and funds to help aid developing countries in need.
Relationships With Other Companies Veolia& Coke- both are apart of IBM Veolia& Nestle- both want to privatize around the world Veolia& The World Bank- both are working together under OBA(Out-put Based Aid) to connect families to public water and wastewater networks on their level of satisfaction.
Reflection: After completing this project I have learned that there are so many people around the world and even among us in this very moent that have to endure a life without safe and clean water. But fortunately there are programs that have been put in place to meet the needs of those who have been born into a world without their basic needs for survival. I live in a household of six(including me) and water is not a serious issue, however others may not be able to say the same thing. This project has also showed me that all it takes is for one person to have an idea, big or small to make a difference that spreads around the world. Just like the founders of Veolia Water company, they initially wanted to provide water for their city but that one idea turned out to be a beneficial aid in providing water to those everywhere.
