Description
Aging water and wastewater infrastructure poses growing challenges for industries and governments alike. These systems are vital to economic stability, public safety, and community well-being, yet many are overdue for critical upgrades.
This panel will delve into the legal, regulatory, and financial implications of modernising essential infrastructure. While the discussion will highlight water systems as a case study, the insights apply broadly across sectors where infrastructure reliability intersects with compliance, liability, and risk management.
