To navigate the rapid evolution of the water industry, informed decisions based on comprehensive data are essential. By connecting everyday devices and infrastructure to the internet, we're unlocking smarter, more efficient ways to manage our precious water resources.

Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA) is excited to introduce the first session in our CWA Innovator Spotlight Series, focusing on the crucial components of IoT in water technology.

This session will explore how these components work together to support smarter, more connected water monitoring and management, providing valuable insights for anyone involved in water technology— from utilities and municipalities to government agencies and researchers. If you're interested in learning more about how technology is changing the way we manage water – from our drinking water to the ecosystems of lakes and rivers – be sure to tune in to this webinar. 

Why a Connected Water System Matters

The integration of IoT is rapidly transforming how we understand and manage water. It moves us from reactive responses to proactive solutions, offering significant advantages:

  • Early Problem Detection: IoT systems can identify anomalies like leaks, pollution events, or equipment malfunctions much faster than traditional methods, minimizing damage and public health risks.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Real-time data allows for optimization of treatment processes and infrastructure maintenance, reducing waste and costs.
  • Improved Resource Management: With continuous monitoring providing broader coverage and more data points, you gain a clearer picture of the overall health of a water system, enabling better allocation decisions, especially during critical times.
  • Increased Resilience: Remote monitoring and control capabilities enhance the ability of water systems to withstand and recover from disruptions.
  • Greater Sustainability: By enabling more efficient water use and reducing losses, IoT contributes to the long-term sustainability of our water resources.

Innovator Spotlight Series

Our upcoming webinar will feature two innovators from our network who are making significant strides in applying IoT technology to water challenges: SenArch and Freeboard Technology. Join us to hear from these innovators about their unique solutions and the impact they are having on the water industry.

During the webinar, we will explore topics relevant to both companies and the broader adoption of IoT in water technology, including:

  • The core market challenges their innovative technologies are designed to solve and why these solutions are critical.
  • How they educate their customers and end-users about the transformative possibilities that their technology unlocks.
  • The ways their technology integrates with and enables faster insights through various IoT devices and data analysis methods.
  • The practical considerations and lessons learned from real-world deployments of their IoT solutions.
  • Their vision for the future evolution of their products and the broader impact on smarter water management.

Join us on April 29!

Whether you work for a water tech company, consulting firm, a utility, government agency, or are simply interested in how we can better manage our water, this CWA Innovator Spotlight will give you valuable insight into components of IoT and how it can drive efficiency and improve monitoring capabilities.

We hope to see you virtually on April 29 from 10:00-11:00 AM ET!
