Through a partnership with <strong>Danone\u2019s Evian bottling plant<\/strong>, treated industrial water is pumped via a five-kilometer pipeline to the Golf Academy and the golf resort, where it is used for irrigation. \u201cWe made this decision 18 months ago,\u201d explains <strong>Franck Riboud, Honorary President of the Danone Group,<\/strong> which also owns the Evian Golf Resort. \u201cWe wanted freedom, and now we have it.\u201d When Riboud speaks of freedom, he is referring to the increasingly strict French regulations governing the use of groundwater for irrigating sports fields. By installing a completely closed-loop system\u2014which ensures full self-sufficiency for the golf courses\u2014the golf club is no longer dependent on government regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The overall project is called \u201cREUT\u201d (R\u00e9utilisation des Eaux Us\u00e9es Trait\u00e9es)<\/strong>. It follows a simple principle at the Evian plant: reduce, optimise, then reuse. Since 2008, industrial water consumption at the Evian plant has already been reduced by nearly 50%. To achieve this, the plant modernized its piping and infrastructure to limit water loss from leaks. In addition, real-time data and precise mapping of water meters help ensure optimal control. Employee engagement is also paying off: At their suggestion, automatic water triggers in certain areas were replaced with foot pedals to further reduce water consumption. The plant\u2019s green spaces are watered exclusively at night\u2014using rainwater collected from the roofs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mdj0ivjj-84ab9d0298078ec516ee3426f26638cf\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mdj0ivjj-84ab9d0298078ec516ee3426f26638cf img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mdj0ivjj-84ab9d0298078ec516ee3426f26638cf .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mdj0ivjj-84ab9d0298078ec516ee3426f26638cf av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-35872 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-35872 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Franck-Riboud-Evian-Golf-Resort-300x225.jpg\" alt='Franck Riboud explains the new water cycle system' title='Franck Riboud Evian Golf Resort'  height=\"225\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Franck-Riboud-Evian-Golf-Resort-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Franck-Riboud-Evian-Golf-Resort-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Franck-Riboud-Evian-Golf-Resort-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Franck-Riboud-Evian-Golf-Resort-scaled.jpg 1232w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Franck-Riboud-Evian-Golf-Resort-705x529.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">Franck Riboud explains the new water cycle system (foto: Petra Himmel)<\/small><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdhd14m0-fa0fa0c233a5ff2775395a9f49a5c811 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>For the golf club, this means that the new <strong>water recovery<\/strong> system now directly benefits the golf resort, whose ponds are no longer filled with groundwater. However, this forward-looking water management system involves not only the use of industrial water but also the targeted collection of rainwater and drainage water, which is also directed into the ponds. In addition, the irrigation system has been extensively modernised.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of watering according to a rigid schedule, the Evian Resort now relies on precision based on actual needs: The installation of its own weather station and special soil probes enables the greenkeepers to adjust the water supply precisely to the soil\u2019s actual needs. Every drop is carefully calculated to avoid any kind of waste.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/england-golf-publishes-water-toolkit\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"SokfNwjUxs\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/england-golf-publishes-water-toolkit\/\">England Golf publishes Water Security Toolkit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cEngland Golf publishes Water Security Toolkit\u201d \u2014 Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/england-golf-publishes-water-toolkit\/embed\/#?secret=fDrszS9Ybo#?secret=SokfNwjUxs\" data-secret=\"SokfNwjUxs\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Overseeding Program and More Mechanical Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As early as 2020, the resort also began overseeding the academy grounds with more resilient and less water-intensive grasses. For nearly five years now, this reseeding program has also been implemented on the main course. The goal of this initiative is to specifically promote species that are better able to withstand climatic challenges, while maintaining a high quality of play for golfers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the greenkeeping team has significantly stepped up the mechanical maintenance of the golf courses. They focus on regular, preventive maintenance such as aeration, drainage, sanding, and dethatching. This allows the soil to absorb moisture more effectively, which ultimately reduces water consumption and also ensures consistently high course quality.<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, nothing has changed for the participants in <strong>the Amundi Evian Championship<\/strong> since 2025. The ponds look the same as they used to, and the quality of the playing surfaces remains first-rate. When it comes to water management, however, the resort has made a 180-degree shift toward self-sufficiency and resilience. Water scarcity has no longer been an issue for the Evian Resort since July 8.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/kapalua-comeback-water-crisis\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"skAg2SRIOu\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/kapalua-comeback-water-crisis\/\">Kapalua Resort: The comeback after the water stop<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cKapalua Resort: The comeback after the water stop\u201d \u2014 Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/kapalua-comeback-water-crisis\/embed\/#?secret=FWvXKbJ8Xn#?secret=skAg2SRIOu\" data-secret=\"skAg2SRIOu\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mrfd0mkx-1a8d29a59e5096e2d55827c9462d8c5b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mrfd0mkx-1a8d29a59e5096e2d55827c9462d8c5b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mrfd0mkx-1a8d29a59e5096e2d55827c9462d8c5b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mrfd0mkx-1a8d29a59e5096e2d55827c9462d8c5b av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_social_share '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-35870 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-35870 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Beregnung-Evian-Golf-Resort-1500x630.jpg\" alt='Only collected water or treated industrial water is now used for irrigation.' title='GOLF -
