The future is temporary In ten years’ time, will we still be building water infrastructure for 100 years?. Demand forecasting in the water sector is stupidly inaccurate. When planners start to map out how much water will be needed twenty or thirty years hence, they are not only wrong, but wrong in an unpredictable way. Prediction The kind of things which we currently associate with emergency disaster response are going to become mainstream. Water services are going to become more a matter of “just in time” than “just in case”. There will be more risks in the industry, but the rewards will be better. GWI 26th May 2011
