As climate volatility increases and infrastructure ages, both public utilities and private sector players face mounting pressure to deliver reliable, efficient, and resilient water services. From non-revenue water losses to mounting urban demand and drought-induced stress, the need for climate-smart water systems has never been more urgent. This webinar will unpack how smart infrastructure — powered by data analytics, automation, and integrated system design — is transforming the delivery and resilience of water services in Africa and globally. The session brings together experts from municipal leadership, smart technology innovation, and global engineering to explore practical tools, strategies, and policies enabling scalable, sustainable water solutions across sectors. Whether it’s through digital metering, decentralized treatment, or intelligent system planning, the future of water infrastructure is intelligent, interconnected, and climate-resilient. - What does “smart” water infrastructure look like in practice — and how is it already being applied in African contexts? - How can municipalities and utilities leverage automation and data to reduce losses, improve service reliability, and optimize water use? - Which climate resilience tools and technologies are proving most effective for both public and private water stakeholders? - What are the financing, policy, and partnership models needed to scale smart water infrastructure in emerging markets? - How can technology bridge the gap between short-term water efficiency goals and long-term climate adaptation?
