Experts who participated in Creamer Media's webinar on water Experts propose private solutions to better capacitate municipalities for effective water management Has Video
Published: 28 Mar 24

With the Blue Drop audit report finding that more than two-thirds of water treatment plants are close to failure, almost half of all treated water is lost through leaks and that only 26 of the country’s 958 water supply systems currently meet the Blue Drop certification level for high-quality water, solutions for climate resilient "water prosperity" becomes crucial.
