UTILITIES
Access and contribute to the world's largest database for water and sanitation utilities performance data.
New IBNET provides data-based services that allow water and sanitation utilities to make informed decisions on operations, and service delivery.
We’re excited to announce the launch of
Water Round Tables: Developing Effective and Inclusive Utilities
a new event series designed to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and capacity building among water professionals worldwide.
In her current role, Wendy Harrison-Smith is responsible for conducting critical studies into the operations and management of the NWC, leading research initiatives, and presenting recommendations to ensure the utility remains relevant and viable amidst evolving technological, social, economic, and environmental conditions. Her leadership in research and development is pivotal in driving the NWC's mission and vision forward.
On June 6, 2024, water utility leaders gathered to share their inspiring journeys toward achieving major improvements in drinking water coverage and reducing non-revenue water (NRW). The session highlighted the power of collaboration and technology-driven strategies in overcoming these critical challenges. Three water utility leaders from Zambia and Ethiopia shared their stories, revealing both achievements and hurdles in their respective regions.
