Smart water networks

To meet and conquer the challenges facing the water sector – from climate change, biodiversity loss and water scarcity through population growth and regulatory performance expectations – companies know they need to create smarter infrastructure. They know they need new capability to manage capacity, constraints and risks at a whole network level – or even multinetwork level. But what does this mean in practice?  Join this session to hear:   

• How companies are trialling and deploying digital twins    

• Examples of other new tools extracting value from data    

• Frontline experiences from water companies utilizing intelligent decision making to deliver a smart water network vision
