The future of water management and why action is

needed now

CREATED: 07 FEBRUARY 2025

As climate change intensifies water scarcity, pollution, and extreme weather
events, the need for smarter water management has never been more pressing.

Gregg Herrin, Bentley Systems vice president for water, in his third piece, explains how
digital twins offer a transformative solution, enabling utilities and governments to
optimise water resources, enhance sustainability, and safeguard communities. With aging
infrastructure and rising environmental challenges, adopting these technologies now is
not just an opportunity—it is an urgent necessity.

The examples shown earlier illustrate what’s possible when digital twins are used to
address water issues at the source. Even as these problems become more severe,
technology is continuing to adapt and evolve.

By leveraging digital twins, the water management sector can optimise source water
management, improve sustainability, and enhance overall water security, ensuring that
utilities can meet the demands of their customers while protecting and sustaining vital
water resources.
