Artificial intelligence; the future of our freshwater Insight

Even then, just 1 per cent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. Essentially, only 0.007 per cent of the planet's water is available to fuel and feed our ever growing population. The more statistics we read about the ever growing freshwater crisis the more we can convince ourselves that solutions aren't within reach. I am becoming convinced that there is sufficient talent and passion in the environmental technology industry to change direction. During the conference I listened to a keynote by Aromar Revi, Director of the Indian Institute for Human Settlement, on the enormous challenge facing all of us to meet the UN water related sustainable development goals, given the exponential growth of the global economy which is increasing the pressures on the world's water resources.
