If these issues are not addressed with a sense of urgency, the ramifications will be devastating for all of us and the planet. What we need is a holistic approach to water, integration of intelligent and smart technologies with traditional and environment-friendly systems and strengthen the way we manage this resource. The future of water lies in adopting a sustainability mindset, technologies, policies and collaborations. We at Grundfos India, strongly advocate United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals #6 – focused on water and our association with this conference is a step towards bringing the key stakeholders together to help strengthen the water agenda.”
