Dear Subscribers,

We tend to overestimate the impact of technology in the short term and underestimate it in the long term. The water sector is an extreme example of this, as the advent of new technologies has outpaced their integration for many years. 
 
This is challenging to water professionals to stay up to date on multiple technology fronts.
 
90% of all questions asked on The Water Network are technology related. We are proud that without exception each one is answered by relevant experts within minutes. 
 
I invite you to test us: ask your most challenging questions, our members are waiting to help!
 
Kind regards,
