April MiniPod (Smart Meters, Data Centres & Diversity)

In today's episode we’re focusing on water that’s used by businesses, which makes up 30% of all the water that’s supplied in England. Join Sarah McMath, CEO of MOSl as we explore the challenges of needing to deliver an extra 5 billion litres of water each day into supply by 2050 and the opportunities - and challenges - presented by commercial water demand.

We explore...

1. Smart metering for business customers and the current lack of data to understand how much water they're using - and when.
2. News that Amazon, Microsoft and Google are planning to build hundreds of data centres across the globe, including in areas of water scarcity.
3. The opportunities to bring more diverse voices into the water sector to help tackle some of the challenges it faces over the next 10 years.
