Water Horizons 2025 Transforming Utilities for a Resilient, Net Zero Future Water Horizons 2025 is a two-day conference that brings together global leaders in the water sector to explore the latest innovations and strategies for building resilient, sustainable water utilities. With a focus on technology opportunities, digital transformation, and regulatory compliance, this event will provide valuable insights into the future of water management. What we will coverTechnology Opportunities, Digital Transformation, and the Regulatory Horizon – Day 1 explores how utilities are embracing advanced technologies — from AI and IoT to smart water networks and digital twins — to drive operational efficiency, compliance, and system resilience. Building Resilient Water Systems & Advancing Net Zero Solutions – Day 2 builds directly on Day 1, shifting the focus to implementation. Explore how utilities apply innovation to reduce emissions and build low-carbon, circular water systems. One Event. One Connected Journey. Answering the critical question: How do we future-proof water utilities while advancing climate and carbon goals?
The report investigates the state of the art, challenges and opportunities of the circular water economy in 10 Latin American countries, namely: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The circular approach to water management consists of reducing water use in production and consumption processes, enhancing water efficiency, promoting water re-use and recycling, and recovering energy and materials from wastewater treatment. Guided by the OECD Principles on Water Governance, the report evaluates governance gaps and offers policy recommendations to establish regulatory frameworks, financing mechanisms, and capacity-building measures necessary to transition from a linear to a circular water economy.
