Cecilia Wennberg: Digitalisation journey for the water utility value chain

Digitalisation
The digitalisation of the water sector allows for improved management of water utilities as well as prompt communication with consumers. In her interview, Cecilia Wennberg, Vice President of Market Development at DHI, talked about the benefits of techonological advancements in the water sector. She noted that consumers would have an insight into the quantities and quality of the resource, plus, providers would be able to guage the readiness to pay from the customers. She believes the work that is being done by the IWA Digital Water Programme is essential in helping utilities transform, by gathering information from those who have already adopted digitalised operations and sharing those experiences and knowledge to those who find it necessary.
