So, we have to develop localised solutions, because water quantity and quality vary from watershed to watershed. By contrast, water issues are very localised. “To me, the key difference between CO2 and water is that carbon emissions impact the atmosphere, which is a global issue.
These factors demonstrate that climate change is also a water management issue. As the planet warms, oceans are rising and droughts and floods are occurring with greater frequency. “At Ecolab we feel that climate and water are really two sides of the same coin,” says Emilio Tenuta, vice president of corporate sustainability at Ecolab, “that is because when you think about climate change it’s largely expressed in water. There is growing awareness that the climate conversation is not just about energy and carbon emissions – fresh water availability for utilities and industry is also rising rapidly up the agenda globally. Just last month, the head of the UK’s Environment Agency said England is facing the “jaws of death” on water scarcity in the next 25 years. Here they share their views on how resilience and innovation can help bridge the water scarcity gap. This new technology builds upon RTC4Water’s successful Global Predictive Controller™ system which has given small to medium-sized communities the ability to reduce water supply costs while improving water quality.įor those planning to attend this year's trade fair, please stop by our stand in Hall 7, Section 550 to see our work and share with us your thoughts and ideas.The theme for BlueTech Forum 2019 – Innovating Towards Resilient Water Systems – was selected as a result of conversations with participants such as Emilio Tenuta, vice president of corporate sustainability at Ecolab, and Devesh Sharma, managing director, Aquatech. As part of its participation in Aquatech’s innovation activities, RTC4Water will showcase a new technology designed to model and optimise the behaviour of multiple water distribution networks which are managed by different communities and who may have diverse water utilization goals. It is a recognition of our team and all water providers here in Luxembourg, who together have developed a world leading solution to tomorrows water problems” said Alex Cornelissen, one of the founders of RTC4Water. “We are extremely excited to be selected by BlueTech Research to present the newest advances in water distribution control.
Bluetech water software#
By applying the latest technologies from the software development and automation domains, water and sewer network administrators can now achieve a higher level of efficiency which would typically not be possible with human operators. RTC4Water develops software systems which optimize water and wastewater (sewer) networks. RTC4Water, a pioneer in the development of a new breed of artificial intelligence software systems for water and sewer distribution networks, will present the latest in predictive and autonomous software systems from October 31st to November 3rd at Aquatech Amsterdam one of the world’s leading trade exhibitions for water technology professionals.
