SMART WATER

Yesterday was World Water Day and it was also the day that the second “Smart Water: Sustainable Water Vision” digital event took place. It was an important European platform for dialogue and debate on smart solutions for water resource management.

The digital event was organised by Resideo, a global provider of comfort and security solutions, in collaboration with POLI design, university institution of acknowledged excellence ranked fifth in the QS Ranking 2021 in the Art & Design category.

The theme was Sustainable Water Visions and involved a rich and varied conversation with a leading panel of international experts – moderated by journalist and writer Fabio Deotto – on the importance of the correct consumption and management of water in the residential sector.

Ultimately, there was one goal of the session: to make invisible water stress visible. According to a 2021 report from the World Meteorological Organization of the United Nations (WMO), more than 2 billion people are living in countries under water stress and 3.6 billion people face inadequate access to water at least one month per year.

Mario Moura, Resideo’s Products and Solutions EMEA Managing Director, opened the event by explaining its importance to Resideo: “In the management of water resources we need to be focused on the development of increasingly smart solutions – both for today and tomorrow’s professional installer. By having smart insights, and a broad product range, Resideo can help customers in their journey to be more sustainable by providing them with better control.”
