The Onset Of Water's Digital Transformation

The future of water looks daunting with the ever-looming challenges of population growth, climate change, and failing infrastructure, but the future also includes technological advances that can help overcome these hard-to-solve issues.

It is only when wide-scale implementation occurs that the digital transformation arrives. In the interview below, Karmous-Edwards explains the impact on the horizon.
