Everyone in the water sector is talking about Digitalization. There is no question that big data and the insights that can be gained by smart analytics are bringing massive benefits. 

An even bigger impact, however, is coming from the Networked Economy. This is changing the way we do everything. The Water Network is developing the Networked Economy for the water sector.

You are invited to join us on this exciting journey!

Trending Technology
World's First Nanofiltration-Based Portable Water Purification Device
Bondurant Technologies International has created the CamelTrain, the first all-membrane, nanofiltration-based portable water purification unit in the world. CamelTrain removes viruses and bacteria, cysts, heavy metals, color, odor, flavor, and even radionucleotides from contaminated water. It weighs less than 200 pounds, and takes less than one minute to set up.
Cheaper, Faster Test for E. coli in Drinking Water
University of Waterloo researchers and Glacierclean Technologies Inc. have invented a fast, affordable way to test drinking water E. coli. DipTest paper strips, laced with sugar, attract E. coli bacteria and trap them in the porous paper. With high levels of contamination, a result is produced in just 30 minutes.
