Shaping Our Digital Water Future: Insights from IWA WWCE Day 3

In this vibrant and multicultural city of Toronto, where music is always in the air, today marks the third day of the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition (IWA WWCE). It has been one of the most intensive yet, with our KWR family actively participating in workshops and sessions. We enjoyed a super fun Water Pictionary during lunch – well done Caro, Lisa, Sandra, and Raul!
Digital Water is right up my alley, so I’ll focus on this for the next few lines. This area of expertise is gaining momentum at the IWA WWCE, with a dedicated corner in the Exhibition hall, five workshops, and eight technical sessions. This morning, I co-chaired a session with Koen Zuurbier (PWN) titled ‘From Data to Decision Making, and Back’. We had a fantastic panel of guests: Pilar Conejos from Idrica in Spain (technology provider), Alex van der Helm from Waternet in the Netherlands (water utility), Harsha Ratnaweera, Professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and IWA fellow, and our own Dragan Savic.
