The next step is for the public sector to take a hard look not just at what we build, but how we build and operate our infrastructure. In the water sector, we've seen what can be accomplished when we digitize the planning, design, construction, and operations of water systems and urge policymakers to focus on smart water technology adoption to unlock efficient, safe, and sustainable water management for all.
