Uptake of smart water metering will grow by 8% - 13% each year in industrialized countries until 2016.  By 2014, smart meters will account for 50% of the global water meter market, with a market size of around US$800m*

As evidenced by the recent arterial mains rupture in London, ICT is now essential for smart infrastructure and asset management. Sensors and actuators enabling tighter oversight are crucial for real-time monitoring, data acquisition and supervisory control.  In parallel, homes utilising smart water meters allow suppliers to reduce leakage levels by 20% and householders significantly reduced monthly bills. The future will see this developed even further, ensuring greater water availability, lower tariffs, and reduced environmental impact.  

Join us at SMi’s Smart Water Systems conference for two days of international perspectives on new developments in this exciting area.  Case studies highlighting the  impact of automation, GIS and smart water grids will demonstrate how to sustain provision competitively as demand increases.
