Experts and professionals from across the water sector will gather on 24th November to discuss zero leakage, self-healing networks, a revolution in performance and asset data - a future where existing networks deliver optimum efficiency to meet tomorrow’s demands.
The Future Water Association is exploring these and other industry issues during the 15th Leakage & Metering Conference - now known as Future Water Networks 2016 - which will review innovations in metering, market separation and competition, mobile operations and future technology.
There are major challenges and opportunities ahead across the water industry – the Association believes now is the time for radical thinking coupled with a different approach to network management, leakage, metering, asset assessment and future development.
The event will begin with a dinner on the evening of 23rd November at which Richard Laikin, UK Water Sector Lead at PwC, will share his thoughts about the future of the water sector over the next decade, what changes will happen beyond 2020 and what opportunities will emerge for business.
