Advancing Intelligent Water Management for Bengaluru & India
Scroll
Bengaluru is emerging as one of India's most important centres for technology-driven water management. Rapid urban growth, rising demand, and climate variability are placing increasing pressure on the city's water infrastructure, creating the need for smarter and more resilient utility systems.
The National AI & Digital Water Summit 2026, organised by Elets Technomedia in strategic collaboration with the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), brings together policymakers, water utilities, technology innovators, and investors to explore how AI, IoT, digital platforms, and advanced analytics can transform urban water management.
Anchored in Bengaluru's evolving water ecosystem, the summit will showcase how technology-led innovation can strengthen efficiency, resilience, and long-term water security.
