Identifying the Gaps Between Water and Wastewater Operators and Market Partners

摘要

To best understand key issues and trends for 2019, WaterWorld and Frost & Sullivan conducted a joint survey of water and wastewater operators across Canada and the United States. Responses highlighting key challenges, investment needs, and levels of confidence to deliver on those needs were gathered from 174 authorities representing 45 states, provinces, and territories. Respondents come from populous jurisdictions with large economies such as California, Texas, and New York, as well as more remote locations, including Guam, Northwest and Yukon Territories, and Wyoming. This article represents a high-level overview of results that will drive water and wastewater operators through the year ahead and offers opportunity guidance for market vendors in developing and tailoring solutions to meet customer demands. Articles that provide a deeper dive on key issues will be published quarterly throughout 2019. WaterWorld and Frost & Sullivan thank all the individuals and organizations that participated in the research.
