Become a #WaterWarrior like @ elonmusk
The opening ceremony of the 10th World Water Forum was attended by the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Inc., Elon Musk.
Yes, consumers' wise use of #water is a widely discussed topic, but an equally important issue is the #prevention of leaks in infrastructure (mainly due to ageing #infrastructure) and the resulting loss of water in transport, as research shows that the amount of water lost through leaks and burst pipes is enormous. Preventing water loss 'at source' should also be seen as one of the first steps towards #sustainable, beneficial water management, the concept of global water neutrality.
“Therefore, we need to limit individual consumption of water.” - so as, a Water Warrior, what is your water saving target?
In his speech, Elon Musk emphasized the importance of technology to minimize water waste.
In particular, I think the potential of research and new technologies such as #AI in water/sewage leak detection and mitigation (monitoring systems) and the potential of #Starlink & #satellite imagery in real-time #monitoring and management of #water infrastructure have a huge potential.
Attention should also be paid to the importance of a well-functioning #communication system and #internet (such as #Starlink) in an emergency response system, such as a flood #hazard, as essential elements of community #resilience.
