Water is one of the most precious resources on our planet, and its management is becoming increasingly complex. With growing populations, climate change, and aging infrastructure, water utilities are facing unprecedented challenges. Fortunately, technology is providing new solutions to these challenges through smart water networks. And at the forefront of this movement is Swan - The Smart Water Networks Forum.
