Across the world, water utilities are seeking digital tools to optimize their water and sanitation workflows. Yet with so many new tools available, deciding where to start can be difficult. The Water Global Department provides Digital Water solutions that support water utilities worldwide to undergo a digital transformation. We support utilities to incorporate digital solutions such as smart metering, e-billing, remote sensing, data integration, supervision, GIS, predictive maintenance, active leak detection, cybersecurity, and an array of software platforms into their workflows so they can optimize water and sanitation in their region.
For all water utility challenges, there is a possible digital solution, and new challenges are arising every day – caused by operational failures, climate change, aging networks, drought, urbanization, and changing customer needs.
Using diagnostic tools, Digital Water services help water utility managers identify where to start on the digital journey, and address their unique challenges with assessments and surveys, customized roadmaps, trainings, and other tools.
Any utility can embark on the digital journey, and World Bank Group experts are able to help with knowledge, innovations, and unique expertise in the digitalization of water utilities. Every utility can find the right entry point to start on the journey, and the right time to start is now.
For those interested in learning more about the digital water journey, the Digital Water community of practice is a place to discuss unique challenges each utility faces. Please contact Jihoon Lee to learn more about the possibilities for collaboration.
