Hot off the press from the good folks at the US Water Alliance:
Preface
Small and rural communities across the United States can lack a strong economic base from which to grow and thrive. Water utilities in isolated parts of the nation are often responsible for serving large geographic areas with small populations who are unable to pay for needed water system improvements and ongoing operations. Any strategy to advance an equitable water future requires a renewed focus on the needs of the people served by these systems and the implementation of meaningful solutions.This report explores a vital pathway to advance water equity and the essential need of small and rural communities to access safe and reliable water services: adopting and implementing practical digital water management solutions. While attention typically centers on the next big technology and digital breakthroughs, those who lack even the most basic of digital technologies are being left further behind— sometimes to devastating effect.
The upside is that accessible solutions exist. Through coordination on a core set of solutions, our nation can support small water and wastewater systems in adopting digital solutions to safeguard and develop water access where it is most needed. This would be a significant step toward an equitable water future.
