Digital Technology Offers Opportunities Amid Water Industry Challenges

Abstract

Given so many headwinds, it's a wonder that US water utility operators get much sleep these days: chronically aging infrastructure, climate change, cyber predators, workforce staffing headaches, a shifting regulatory landscape, budget tightropes, broad public misperceptions about rates and the value of water…the list goes on. Yet for the US water industry, Black & Veatch's survey‐driven 2023 Water Report ( www.bv.com/resources/2023-water-report ) finds a wealth of opportunity.
