Advanced technologies in water resource management are crucial for meeting water efficiency targets, as today’s water industries face challenges, including water stress, aging infrastructure, failure prediction, and demand forecasting. The increasing environmental awareness due to climate change and population growth drives the demand for new technologies.
Innovations and technical know-how in the water sector can ensure more efficient processes and decision-making. Case studies from the water sector across the USA, which are already advancing with AI technologies will address the critical need for accurate and precise forecasting across the network. Exploring new technologies that showcase the best solutions for water monitoring and control, understanding usage patterns, and addressing data collection tools and ‘big data’ handling will be crucial.
