Study Tour in Turin – Opening day - February 2, 2026

Yesterday marked an important moment within the consultancy on NRW reduction strategy and Business Plan for Gambella, Assosa and Semera-Logia Water Utilities, now approaching its conclusion.
The morning opened at SMAT’s Accademia dell’Acqua with the welcome to the Ethiopian delegation — and with a special milestone for Hydroaid: the first public address by our new President, Mercedes Bresso. A warm and significant moment that we are proud to share and celebrate.
The photos capture the morning session on introduction, overview of the activities carried out until now and highlights on SMAT.
In the afternoon, the delegation visited SMAT’s Remote Control Room, exploring real‑time monitoring systems, leakage detection, and operational tools for NRW reduction.
A meaningful start to this week of shared work and sustainable water solutions. Stay tuned!
