- 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
- These breakthrough technologies can lead us to a zero water waste . . .
To demystify the water technology landscape and elevate the most scalable solutions in this space, UpLink recently ran the Zero Water Waste Challenge, from which the top 10 water-focused entrepreneurs or 'Aquapreneurs' from a pool of 192 applicants representing 40 different countries have now been announced
- How big an impact do humans have on the water cycle . . . - World . . .
World Water Day is held on 22 March every year to raise awareness of the importance of freshwater and the challenges billions face in getting access to safe water A growing population, the increasing demands of human use for agriculture and industry, plus the effects of climate change all put water under threat
- Here are 5 ways we can build global water systems resilience
Water scarcity, pollution and extreme weather events driven by climate change, population growth and industrial demand are pushing global water systems to critical levels Building water resilience hinges on cross-sector partnerships, tailored financing and adopting innovative governance and policy frameworks
- Why water security is our most urgent challenge today
Water is closely linked to many challenges, but perhaps none so pressing as climate change The climate crisis is severely disrupting the water cycle on which people and the planet depend Water is at the centre of this crisis: nine out of 10 climate events are water related Droughts and floods continue to grow in intensity, groundwater is
- Investing in water resilience is crucial – and a major opportunity
Nature-based solutions, or “green” infrastructure – as alternatives to human-built “grey” infrastructure such as dams or river regulations – are proven to deliver cost-effective, measurable and sustainable benefits to drive water resilience for people and nature, especially those most vulnerable to climate impacts
- What is World Water Day? | World Economic Forum
And so World Water Day has been observed since 1993 to highlight the work that remains to ensure everyone on Earth has access to clean drinking water And while it's a high-profile issue – check out our podcast with Matt Damon below – the figures above emphasize the challenges that remain, especially with freshwater usage increasing each year
- Digital twins are transforming the world of water management
The success of the Lushan Water Supply Company exemplifies how digital twin technology can enhance efficiency on a local scale Yet, with urbanization rates skyrocketing, the need for scalable water-management solutions becomes increasingly urgent Cross-sector collaboration will be necessary to tackle broader water-management issues at both
