With water increasingly sitting at the intersection of economic, environmental and social outcomes, collaboration and long-term thinking are becoming essential capabilities for water leaders.

In this episode, we explore how water planning is evolving, from taking a more holistic view of water’s role across industry and community, to the growing importance of adaptability and partnership. Drawing on insights from the Connected by Water conference and examples across Western Australia, the conversation examines how organisations can avoid locking into the wrong solutions too early, including how tools like adaptive pathways planning can help decision makers keep options open as conditions change.

GHD’s Sophie Barton is joined by Petja Albrecht (Industrial Water Leader, GHD) and Daniel Visser (Technical Director – Water Treatment & Desalination, GHD) to reflect on what these shifts mean for industrial water planning in Western Australia and around the world.
