Water challenges are complex and interrelated. Globally, water demand is threatening to outpace supply. In addition to water stress and scarcity, the world is also faced with the negative effects of extreme weather events, disasters and poor water quality.
Driven by the urgent need to ensure access to safe water now and in the future, the IWA is developing a position paper on “Digital Water Solutions: Creating Abundance" to unlock the digital water revolution to make far more efficient use of the world's dwindling water resources.
"Digital solutions provide a much-needed response to smarter and more effective water strategies for utilities and businesses," said IWA Executive Director Kala Vairavamoorthy. "Without vastly improved data and analytics, public institutions, businesses and society will struggle or fail to meet 21st century demands for water."
