Technology will transform the water utility workplace,
from how utilities manage and use information
to how they treat and monitor water. Understanding
the nature of these changes and the
appropriate use of technology can reduce costs, allow
for better and quicker decision-making, and enable
better management of increasingly complex information
databases.
This article is the final one in a six-part series on
trends and their implications for water utilities. It characterizes
the key technology trends in a rapidly changing
water utility world, and describes the implications
of these trends and potential strategies to address them.
