WaterSide Chat: Data-Driven Demand Management

. This WaterSide Chat will explore the underlying paradigm shifts taking place in the water supply industry, as infrastructure replacement needs top the list of priorities of nearly every utility across the country. Beyond massive investments in new capital projects, what opportunities do utility managers have to extend asset lifetimes, reduce costs, and build political capital to finance new projects? Our featured speakers are Greg Baird, President of the Water Finance Research Foundation, and Shadi Eskaf, Senior Project Director at the Environmental Finance Center at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. They will explore how customer data can be used to more effectively manage demand and reduce operational and capital costs for suppliers. Learn techniques to benefit your systems and engage in a discussion regarding the challenges and benefits of data-driven demand management.
