Harnessing AI for Water: Lessons Learned and Future Horizons & way forward
As digital transformation accelerates across industries, the water sector is embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tackle its most pressing challenges—from leak detection to predictive maintenance and climate resilience.
AI is no longer a future concept—it’s a present-day tool reshaping how we manage water. From smart sensors to digital twins, utilities are already seeing results: reduced water loss, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced system reliability.
This session will showcase feedback from utilities that use AI in their daily operations. It will also address the importance of clean data for training AI systems and how to manage this within the current regulatory framework. Finally, the session will offer a forward-looking perspective on what AI may be able to deliver in the near future.
