• We will have a growing and engaged membership, from all

continents, genders and age groups (in particular YWP’s).

• We will bring together the best scientific & practice minds, to tackle

the worlds most pressing water problems – support SDGs

• We will be a catalyst for innovation, knowledge and best practice

for the sector – thought leadership

• We will create platforms to bridge the chasm between researchers,

innovators & practitioners - accelerate diffusion of innovation

IWA IN 5 YEARS TIME … A BRIGHT FUTURE

IWA will help the water sector navigate through a period of rapid change

Global Change: Adaptive solutions Digital Water : IoT and automation Circular Economy: Resource miners

We want to inspire a smarter approach

Principles for Water Wise Cities

Regenerative Water Services Water Sensitive Urban Design Cities & Watershed Stewardship Water Wise Communities

We need to have a systems perspective of the water cycle

But we need to recognize that we’re dealing with a ‘system of systems’

At watershed level also ‘system of systems’

Moving forward – IWA Platform

• For knowledge exchange among signatories
• Sharing case studies and best practice
• Identifying challenges and barriers
• Encourage peer to peer learning
• Inspire other cities to transition
• Partner with IWA to activate actors of change

Who to contact?

Corinne Trommsdorff, Corinne.Trommsdorff@iwahq.org

• 30 urban regions endorsed
• 100+ individuals and companies
• 3 Partners powering up the initiative:

Arup, CRC for water Sensitive Cities, Greater Paris Sanitation Authority.

Principles for Water Wise Cities

Digital Disrupters

COGNIZANT 20-20 INSIGHTS

Benefits to the water sector

COGNIZANT 20-20 INSIGHTS

combining data from real-time IoT platforms with predictive analytics, data variables can be monitored, tracked, and analysed to make informed decisions

• Will develop:
• Thought leadership pieces to support IWA members on their

digital water journey (position papers, reports, tech outlooks)

• Catalogue of case studies – principles and characteristics

for successful digitalization

• Will provide opportunities for knowledge exchange
• Integration into events (incl. a Digital Water Summit)
• Products for dissemination and learning (e.g. webinars)

IWA Digital Water Programme

• Water utilities as users of digital water technologies,
• Water technology, and Software & Communication

technology companies as digital solution providers

• Water consultancies as strategic partners for utilities,
• IWA Specialist Groups influencing or being influenced by the

digital water agenda,

• Research and network institutes with expertise on the

development of smart solutions for water utilities.

DWP Steering Committee

Digital additions to the Source (Aug 2018) IWA World Water Congress (Sep 2018) Digital Water Programme (Dec 2018) Active DWP Steering Committee (Feb 2019) Digital Water whitepaper (ongoing)

DWP Journey So far

Active Steering Committee meetings every 2 months Webinar #1 (May 2019) Launch whitepaper, workshop, @ LET (Jun 2019) Webinar #2 (Jun 2019) Workshops @ WDCE (Dec 2019) Digital Water Summit (2020)

DWP Moving forward

• Contribute towards whitepaper series, technology
• utlooks, case study collection, etc
• Provide ideas welcome for blogs, videos, webinars
• Lead, participate, and contribute to major digital water

workshops, forums at events e.g. WWCE 2020

DWP Needs your contribution

IWA Innovators Platform: the journey so far

IWA World Water Congress (Sep 2018) Innovators Platform (Nov 2018) Identification of events (Dec 2018) Guidance paper – working with YWPs (ongoing)

Innovators Platform:

planned engagement pathways

• Series of events that bring

innovators from supply (e.g. tech. companies/researchers) to demand (e.g. water utilities)

• An online platform that provides

curated information on innovation

• Highlighting and promoting innovation

from IWA specialist groups

Curated online platform on water innovation Innovators events Within IWA Events

31

New FORMATS for events

• Mobile sessions – facilitator takes group through exhibition,

focusing on technology for specific issues (e.g. nutrient recovery)

• Clinics – end users pose their problems to a solution provider
• Speed dating, hack-a-thons, fireside chat/sofa, world Café
• Thinking about how to include gamification & prizes

Wastewater is big on the agenda

85% of wastewater is NOT treated

Having treatment plants doesn't mean they work and do their job!

Next 20 years golden age for wastewater and sanitation - opportunities to “leapfrog”

Innovations resulting in:

• Smaller plant footprint
• Energy savings (up-to 50%)
• Improved CAPEX and OPEX
• Improved effluent quality, resource recovery etc.

• Adv. Control

FSM is a neglected issue with limited data

Show me the money - financing the SDG’s

• $114 billion/ year required to

deliver safely managed WASH

• $18 billion/year is approx.

current spending

• Major finance gap
• Sanitation accounts for 60%
• f estimated costs

How do we handle the funding gap?
