OVERVIEW
This interactive SWAN-WaterLinks partner webinar brought together regional insights from Asia-Pacific with hands-on European utility experience to explore how wastewater digitalisation works in practice. Through real-world case studies and lessons learned, the session discussed how utilities can improve energy efficiency and treatment performance, move from high-level strategy to day-to-day operational impact, and apply digital tools effectively across different levels of digital maturity.
