Emerging technologies compel water utilities to improve everyday practices. Advancements in instrumentation for water production, transmission, distribution, wastewater collection, and consumer endpoints allow for the optimization of water networks. While these innovations offer enhanced efficiency and reliability for water networks, the multitude of options available necessitates expert advice on the most valuable technologies and their optimal implementation strategies for utilities.
An intelligent water system has a lot of benefits outside of the technological space, such as fostering equity, positively impacting public trust, increasing efficiency, and steering utilities toward a circular water economy.
Implementation of multiple technologies, including AI/ML are central to improving resource management and optimization. This panel will discuss drivers, challenges, and opportunities of leveraging digital technologies and operationalizing data analytics including the application of AI/ML for better data-driven decision making.
