Improved Water Management Helps Communities Prepare for Growing Demand

Goal 6 Clean Water And Sanitation

Managing One of the World’s Most Important Resources

Clean and reliable water is essential for communities, agriculture, industry and ecosystems.

As demand for water changes and some regions experience increasing pressure on available resources, communities and organisations are exploring ways to improve water management.

These efforts can involve infrastructure, conservation, monitoring and changes in everyday water use.


Reducing Water Loss

Technology and Water Monitoring

Digital monitoring tools are increasingly being used to understand water consumption and detect potential problems.

Smart meters and sensors can provide information about:

  • Water consumption
  • Pressure changes
  • Potential leaks
  • Infrastructure performance
  • Seasonal demand

This information can help water managers make more informed decisions.

“Understanding where water is being used is an important first step towards using it more efficiently.”
