Water infrastructure forms the backbone of modern society. It ensures the safe delivery of drinking water and effective treatment of wastewater. Yet, with urban and suburban growth, much of this critical infrastructure is aging, neglected, and stretched beyond its limits. A typical reactive approach to water infrastructure management—waiting for failures before addressing them—is unsustainable, unsustainable, and leaves millions at risk. Transitioning to a proactive and data-driven management strategy is essential to secure access to fresh water, support economic growth, and ensure environmental sustainability.
