CWR’s Debra Tan will be on this panel

The Economist’s A thirst for solutions: Achieving water optimisation in cities will bring together water experts and city leaders to examine what policies, technologies and investments are required to achieve water optimisation in cities. The discussion will build on the findings of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s upcoming water optimisation index, which will serve as a guide for cities, municipalities and the water industry in uncovering key levers to a sustainable water future.
