Our Key Focus Areas:
1
Water and Climate
Mitigation and adaption

Smart Water
Digital solutions including sensors, software, and analytics
Globally, over 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from water-related categories.
This includes utilities, land use, and water systems. In Canada, water treatment and distribution account for nearly 40% of energy use in municipalities and Climate-related water disasters, such as floods, droughts and storms, are projected to cost the Canadian economy $139B in the next 30 years.
Developing and Deploying Sustainable Water Solutions
Water solutions span a wide range of applications, from improving wastewater treatment efficiency to enhancing source water protection, providing value-added opportunities across multiple sectors including municipalities, mining, and food & beverage.
