The Future of Water and Infrastructure


Listen Later

How do aging infrastructure and access to clean water relate? The two are more intertwined than you might think. Join Todd and guest Kenneth Driscol as they discuss the need for investment in public infrastructure, how access to water may look by the year 2050, and how sustainable AI solutions may come into play.

Kenneth L. Driscol is a Sr. Civil Application Engineer at Applied Software, GRAITEC Group. He has a demonstrated history of working in the computer software industry. He is skilled in AutoCAD, Revit, Autodesk Software, Drainage, and Modeling. He is a strong engineering professional with a Civil Engineering/ Construction Technology focused in Transportation and Highway Engineering from The University of Akron.

TODD TAKES

  1. Addressing Aging Infrastructure Proactively: Aging infrastructure isn’t something we can afford to ignore or push aside. It’s not an "out of sight, out of mind" problem—it’s a challenge we need to face head-on. By taking a proactive approach, we can ensure our systems stay safe, efficient, and built to last.
  2. Getting the Most Out of Your Data: When it comes to data, start by asking yourself: what do I want to learn? Once you’re clear on your goals, you can map out the right questions and create a framework for managing your data. With good governance and a little help from AI, those insights become game-changers.
  3. Feelings Aren’t Facts: “Feelings aren’t facts.” That one really hits home, doesn’t it? It’s so human to believe our emotions are the ultimate truth, but staying grounded in reality is what leads to smart decisions and better outcomes.
