Digitalization is the driving medium of the globalization through encouraging innovation, and increasing interconnectedness. But how have the recent reforms in digitalization during the pandemic affected the water sector?
Our panelists, Peter Vanrolleghem, Domenico Santoro, Art Umble and Mehran Andalib talked about their outlook on digitalization in the water sector and the role of statistical data in artificial intelligence platforms.
Our take home message was that it is essential for YWPs to resist taking easy approaches and focus on quality data instead. Digitalization is not limited to electronics and must be more inclined towards ideas and resources. The COVID-19 pandemic has set new standards for the digital approach in the global environment.
