With over 8,000 in attendance including water and climate leaders, government representatives, and non-profit organizations, I was deeply inspired by those passionate professionals around me to spark water action. Coming all the way from Singapore to speak at the most important global water event since 1977 brought on a range of emotions, but it truly was an incredible experience. With about 80% of wastewater being released into the environment without adequate treatment, this platform is key to showcase how dire the water scarcity situation is worldwide. At Gradiant, our focus has been how industry can reduce its water footprint, to speak to our patented technologies on this stage was a moment I will never forget.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>On March 23rd and 24th, I was involved in discussions around Climate and Water Risk Technologies as well as Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Blue Economy. As VP of Digital Solutions at Gradiant, my primary focus is on how our patented SmartOps Digital Solutions can optimize and sustainably treat industrial water &amp; wastewater. By leveraging AI for predictive analytics, maintenance, and performance; the SmartOps platform, when used with our RO solutions, allows for the world\u2019s leading brands to reduce and reuse more water. The U.N. invited many global business leaders to speak on how disruptive technologies can have a long-term effect on water scarcity. Every day, Gradiant saves about 3 million average households worth of water across 600 projects globally.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7385a92 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7385a92\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-132cb7e\" data-id=\"132cb7e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f980fed elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"f980fed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-5f4835b swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Delph1\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-417511c swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"delph2\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-5ed1fa8 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"delph3\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a751289 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a751289\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5595fa4\" data-id=\"5595fa4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2340c39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2340c39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p>During my presentations, I spoke about the role of innovation and technology in making sustainable water actions as well as the need to catalyze industrial change, commitment, and investment. The Global Commission on the Economics of Water has predicted that by 2030, global water demand will exceed supply by 40%. Therefore, we need to act now to help companies leverage technology to reduce and reuse its wastewater in its industrial processes.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Today, AI and machine learning technologies are being leveraged to solve many water problems but we need to accelerate adoption to drive significant impact. It was encouraging to see industry stakeholders sharing their initiatives towards good water economics and stewardship. I also emphasized the importance of solving water problems with a collective action, as worldwide water challenges are connected to food, energy, climate, and more. To tackle these issues, it requires a global effort from all water-intensive industries.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The 2023 UN Water Conference has put water back on the center stage of the global agenda, hopefully a turning point in how we see this pivotal value stream. I left the conference feeling inspired by the collective action and commitment of everyone involved. Water is the most important resource we have as people, only by optimizing its use, leveraging technology, and being aware of its value, can we truly make sustainable changes in industries across the globe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delph Mak, Gradiant\u2019s VP of Digital Solutions, reflects on the 2023 UN Water Conference, spotlighting the critical need for digital innovation.
