What if cities could float? What if we could predict floods before they happen? Or even create water from air?

In the latest episode of our Waterproof podcast, we explore bold ideas and breakthrough innovations that could reshape how we live with water. From floating urban developments and digital twins that help predict floods, to new approaches to water governance and solutions that improve everyday lives.

Featuring insights from:

• Rutger de Graaf (Blue 21) on the shift from fighting water to living on water
• Mary Matthews (UNDP) on why governance and policy are the real innovations we need
• Florian Witsenburg (Tygron) on the role of data and digital twins in managing floods
• Rueben Moore (Solaq) on trust and culture in adopting new water sources
• Tanya Huizer (Asian Development Bank) on how the Laundry Transformation can improve women’s lives

Together, they show how technology, governance and social innovation can turn water challenges into opportunities.
