India's water and used water management sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the urgent need to address water scarcity, pollution, and inadequate sanitation. The landscape is increasingly influenced by emerging digital technologies that promise to revolutionize traditional practices, paving the way for more efficient, sustainable, and resilient systems. While these technological advancements present immense opportunities, India faces unique challenges in their implementation, stemming from infrastructure gaps, financial constraints, and social disparities. The key lies in navigating these hurdles while leveraging the power of digital solutions to ensure equitable access to clean water and effective used water treatment for all.

India faces significant challenges in water and used water management, demanding innovative solutions. The emerging technology landscape offers a promising avenue for addressing these issues, moving beyond traditional approaches with digital and advanced techniques. This transformation encompasses various critical areas, including smart water grids, real-time monitoring systems, and advanced treatment technologies, all contributing to improved efficiency, reduced waste, and enhanced resource sustainability. The integration of these technologies is crucial for building a resilient and water-secure future for the nation.

In this perspective Indian Chamber of Commerce is organizing the India Water Summit with the theme of Building Water Secure Vikasit Bharat through Innovation, Investment & Governance. This significant summit aims to promote discussion and innovation surrounding the emerging technology landscape in the water sector.
