Join researchers, industry practitioners, policymakers and water sector professionals for a two-day workshop exploring how artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), optimisation methods and smart technologies are transforming water management.
Delivered as part of the Australia-India Maitri Water Nexus initiative, this workshop brings together leading experts from Australia and India to share research, practical applications and emerging opportunities for technology-enabled water management.
Water systems around the world face increasing pressure from population growth, climate variability, ageing infrastructure and growing demands for sustainability.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, optimisation techniques and smart sensing technologies are creating new opportunities to improve how water resources are monitored, managed and protected.
This two-day workshop will explore current research, industry applications and future directions for digital water management, providing a platform for knowledge exchange between researchers, industry stakeholders and government representatives from Australia and India.
Explore how AI and machine learning are currently being applied across the water sector, including emerging opportunities and implementation challenges.
Discover how sensors, IoT technologies and real-time data are improving the monitoring and management of water systems.
Learn how AI-driven models are supporting forecasting, risk assessment and smarter decision-making.
Explore emerging technologies and future trends shaping the next generation of intelligent water management.
Discuss the research gaps, implementation challenges and policy frameworks needed to support the broader adoption of digital water technologies.
Examine innovative approaches to improving efficiency, performance and sustainability across water infrastructure and operations.
Register now to join leading researchers, practitioners and policymakers exploring the future of AI-enabled water management.
The workshop is supported by a network of Australian and Indian university, industry and government partners committed to advancing sustainable water management through collaboration, innovation and knowledge exchange.
