DEEP DIVE SESSION // WEDNESDAY - 15 JANUARY

AEC Reimagined

Water Resources

Water resource management is at the forefront of sustainability and resilience efforts, and geospatial technology is playing a pivotal role in delivering effective water projects and programs. This session will explore how geospatial tools are enhancing the planning, design, and management of water resources across the public and private sectors, leading to more resilient water systems. By integrating real-time data from sensors, satellite imagery, and spatial analysis, geospatial technology helps water managers monitor water quality, track infrastructure, predict flood risks, and optimize the allocation of resources. Whether managing reservoirs, stormwater systems, or irrigation networks, these tools enable more informed decision-making, improving efficiency and reducing the risks associated with climate variability. Geospatial solutions are also streamlining project delivery, reducing costs, and enhancing resilience, ensuring that water infrastructure can withstand future challenges.
