JEDDAH, SA—IDWS discussions highlight how integrated intelligence platforms are shaping the future of resilient urban water infrastructure.

GENEVA, CH—The accelerating impacts of climate change, urbanization, and aging infrastructure are forcing cities to rethink how water systems are monitored, managed, and governed. This challenge is the focus of Water-BOOST: Enabling Innovation for Future-Ready Cities, a recent report published by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Imperial College London.

PUNE, IN—Longitudinal metagenomic surveillance demonstrates wastewater’s potential as an early-warning system for antimicrobial resistance in megacities.

SINGAPORE, SG—As climate change, pollution, and rapid urbanization place increasing strain on global water systems, technology is emerging as a critical enabler of more resilient and sustainable water management.

PUNE,IN—Year-long wastewater genomics study reveals cryptic SARS-CoV-2 transmission and months-ahead detection of emerging variants.

PARIS, FR—A 2014 water leak in a Mumbai apartment complex was the unlikely catalyst for the development of AI-powered software, robotics, and IoT technology that today monitors over 400 million gallons (1.5B liters) of urban wastewater spills and enables the treatment and reuse of 200+ million gallons (800M liters) of water daily across seven countries, including the U.S.

SAN FRANCISCO, US—Fluid Analytics was named a Top Innovator for their work towards global freshwater conservation, at the World Economic Forum's annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland. This award is supported through UpLink, the forum’s Innovation Ecosystem which offers enabling resources.

DAVOS, CH—Global innovators accelerate freshwater solutions under UpLink and HCL Group collaboration

PUNE, IN—How wastewater surveillance revealed early COVID-19 transitions in Pune. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for early, population-level disease surveillance became increasingly urgent. In Pune, India, Fluid Analytics supported the application of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) as a proactive method to track the spread and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants across the city.

LONDON, UK—In cities with aging underground infrastructure, understanding the true condition of sewer networks remains a critical challenge. In Pune, India, sewer systems more than a century old are still in operation, often with incomplete or outdated maps, increasing the risk of leaks, blockages, and water contamination.

SINGAPORE, SG—Cities around the world are struggling to manage aging underground water infrastructure, much of it poorly documented and hazardous to inspect. An article featured on Atlas of the Future highlights how Fluid Analytics (formerly Fluid Robotics) is addressing this challenge through the use of robotic inspection and data-driven analysis.
