We need to handle water utilities smarter.\nNew and effective tools and technologies are becoming available at an affordable cost and these technologies are steadily changing water infrastructure options. The quality and robustness of sensors are increasing rapidly and their reliability makes the automatic handling of critical processes viable. Online and real-time control means safer and more effective operation.\nThe combination of better sensors and new water treatment technologies is a strong enabler for decentralise.
