Digitalisation and sustainability in water desalination and wastewater management is transforming the sector’s ability to tackle global water shortage
Only 3 percent of the world’s water is fresh water, and two-thirds of that is frozen or otherwise unavailable for use. As a result, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). In addition, climate change has brought new challenges such as droughts, floods, and storms exacerbating water scarcity.
