Industrial Water Users
Industrial corporations face increasing pressure to become more sustainable in their water usage. Competition over water resources combined with the impact of climate change and tougher regulations mean greater challenges are continually emerging. This is driving a need for technologies that will deliver smarter, more environmentally-sensitive water systems that will ensure availability of resources, reduce the cost of compliance and mitigate the risk of reputational damage.
Water Utilities
The water and wastewater sector is meeting unprecedented challenges all around the world – including demographic shifts, climate change, water scarcity and ageing infrastructure. In many countries these market conditions combine with toughening regulations and downward pressure on budgets, which is driving the need for technologies that will deliver smarter, cost-efficient, resilient and environmentally-sensitive water systems.
Solution Providers
The water scarcity crisis is driving the need for alternative water sources, which is creating enormous technology opportunities in areas such as wastewater treatment and reuse, desalination and resource recovery. There are also exciting opportunities opening up in groundwater remediation and network optimisation, with companies looking to maximise efficiencies and lower the costs of compliance.
Investors
Global demand for water is expected to explode in the coming years, this combined with an aging infrastructure and ongoing climate change is creating a water scarcity crisis. These challenges are driving enormous opportunities for developing and investing in new technologies such as wastewater reuse, desalination and nutrient recovery. Companies seriously need these new technologies to help maximise water efficiencies and reduce their costs of regulatory compliance.
Research Academic Groups
The global water crisis is escalating and many businesses are already managing the effects as they plan for an uncertain future. The crisis is creating significant research opportunities in areas such as wastewater treatment and reuse, desalination and resource recovery. There are also major investigations opening up in groundwater remediation and network optimisation as utilities and municipalities seek to maximise efficiencies and lower the cost of compliance.
