Topic: Panel: Optimising asset management in the water sector
It is said that approaches to asset management in the water sector are basic when compared to the power industry. There are fewer moving parts, less to go wrong and short-term water security if systems fail. But if asset management uses a run-to-fail rather than preventative, what opportunities are there for improvement? What is the overlap opportunity with digitalisation?

Topic: Panel: Reflecting the true cost of agriwater: Water consumption demand response
Agriculture accounts for 70% of water consumption in the region, placing greater focus on improved use and decarbonisation of the sector. What is the best water type use - recycled, desalinated, groundwater - by farmers and how can it be better monitored and controlled? If agriculture is 70% of water use, what additional attention and efforts should be in place to cut or change its use?
