Programme

3:45PM – 4:45PM Panel 1 – Utility Performance Through AI and Digital Transformation

In today’s rapidly advancing digital era, water sector leaders are redefining utility performance through the shift from reactive operations to predictive, autonomous, and intelligent systems. This panel brings together industry leaders and utility executives to examine how agentic AI, advanced automation, and data-driven decision-making are transforming operations at scale. Through real-world case studies, speakers will demonstrate how forward-thinking organizations are unlocking new efficiencies, enhancing resilience, and accelerating sustainable growth.

4:45PM – 5:45PM Panel 2 - From Wastewater to Tap: Advancing Direct Potable Reuse

Direct potable reuse (DPR), the process of treating wastewater to drinking water standards and introducing it directly into the potable water system, is emerging as a viable and increasingly accepted solution for building climate-resilient water systems. This panel will shed light on how DPR is moving from concept to implementation across different regulatory and operational contexts. Speakers will share experiences ranging from Asia’s first operational DPR facility serving communities in Parañaque City, to the development of new statewide regulations in California that enable treated municipal wastewater to enter drinking water systems while maintaining strict public health protections.
