Digital water

Digitalisation is transforming the water sector. Rapid advancements in enabling technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-based services, Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced sensors offer new opportunities that can help the water sector face complex challenges, like ageing infrastructure, the impact of climate change and urbanisation, changing demographics, and an increasing average workforce age. Traditional approaches to water management are less and less able to tackle these challenges. Keeping pace with digital advancements has now become more of a necessity than an option, but a critical perspective and judicious implementation remain necessary.

Digital Water

The concept of digital water includes the use of smart water solutions: digital technologies combined with relevant water knowledge and tailored to water-related applications. Smart water solutions can empower and support the water sector as it deals with operational, regulatory and organisational hurdles, and make it more resilient. The digital transformation process in the water sector and in individual organisations also faces hurdles, like fragmented understanding, unclear objectives, lack of standardised methods, data quality issues, and a perceived absence of trust within the organisation.
