“It acts as a reminder for us to commit to our strategic objective of prioritizing projects for implementation to cater for the ever-increasing demand for water supply.
“MIWC 2021 will no doubt prove useful in our efforts at finding opportunities in the new norm by enabling JBALB to share our insights, experiences and technologies which will drive the digital revolution, enabling water utilities to adopt a smarter approach to water and waste water management, integrating digital technologies into water services.,” said JBALB director Chang Kuet Shian
He added that this year’s conference offered five jam-packed days filled with a wide range of utility and industry-specific content with focus on water reforms in navigating the new norms in order to stay resilient and sustainable.
