- Public-private collaboration on water, key to achieving SDGs | World . . .
Other critical innovations include those around storage systems for water, leakage in water delivery systems, agriculture, recycling industrial wastewater, and water-efficient energy systems These areas and technologies, often requiring collaboration between public and private sectors, hold the potential to reshape water management paradigms
- How AI is rewriting and enhancing water risk management
A practical example of this is Waterplan’s internal Data Validation Tool: for each AI-generated water risk indicator – including physical (quantity, quality and flood), regulatory and infrastructure risks generated by the Waterplan platform – the final outputs (sources, analyses, descriptions and risk scores) are systematically evaluated
- Water Futures: Mobilizing Multi-Stakeholder Action for Resilience
Access to freshwater is changing rapidly, with water stress affecting billions of people and countless businesses each year Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent and severe, water pollution continues to rise and, without urgent action, we will soon reach a tipping point This report outlines key pathways to strengthen water resilience, through private sector and multi-stakeholder
