Digitalization – a key to sustainable water management
The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) report highlights digitalization as a cornerstone for sustainable water supply. Within Unity4Water, Siemens is leading the way in showcasing how advanced technologies can revolutionize water management.
Water crisis on the horizon? Here’s how we’re working for the future of water
For a long time, we in Sweden have taken access to clean water for granted. However, as the effects of climate change become increasingly apparent, it’s time to rethink our approach. Industry is one of the sectors where water is used in large quantities, presenting an opportunity to make a significant impact. Through our Unity4Water project, we are developing solutions that enable the reuse of process water in closed systems—an important step toward a more water-wise future.
Securing the future of water
As climate change and growing populations put increasing pressure on global water resources, bold solutions are needed to ensure a sustainable future. The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) recent report outlines key strategies for addressing water supply challenges. Unity4Water is already putting these ideas into action, transforming wastewater into valuable resources for agriculture.
From images to insights
Water quality monitoring is critical for sustainable food production, but traditional methods often fall short of providing timely and large-scale insights. Within the Unity4Water project, Nornio is leveraging cutting-edge technology to tackle this challenge as one of the partners, helping to make water reuse safer and more efficient.
Transforming water reuse: How Unity4Water and PBS Generation are setting new standards with ozone technology
A primary obstacle in water conservation is maintaining microbiological safety standards. High levels of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in reject water typically prevent reuse, calling for advanced decontamination methods. PBS Generation’s innovative technology directly addresses this by achieving what could be called near-complete decontamination, a prerequisite for water reusability. – Our technology is designed to neutralize […]
