Did you know that despite the fact that water covers 70% of our planet, only 3% of the world's water is fresh, two-thirds of that is tucked away in frozen glaciers or is otherwise unavailable for our use and that as a result some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year?
Water is our most precious natural resource, but faced with an increasing global population, over-exploitation, and pollution, this resource is under threat.
In today's episode, I'll be speaking to Sheila de Carvalho, Director Business Unit: Industry & Smart Asset Management at Royal HaskoningDHV, about how technology can be used to address the water crisis. We'll be looking at the optimal use of water systems, smart solutions, efficient IT, monitoring, analysis, integration, and big data management.
