FIDO Tech articles

Fairly or unfairly, the water sector gets a rough ride when it comes to a reputation for running with new ideas.

By letting you monitor real-time usage without installing a meter, FIDO Smart makes

The rise of AI solutions will continue, and there is increasing concern about the water and energy needs to power data centers. This concern about the data centers’ water and energy “footprint” is vital to understand the impact of AI’s inevitable progress but it is only part of the picture.

Fortunately, the focus on AI’s water and energy footprint is already driving innovation in new technology solutions. For example, data centers consume approximately 1

Forty per cent of world species depend on the world’s rapidly degrading wetlands, including humans. Water stewardship is already delivering huge benefits in water availability in our communities. Why not do it for nature too?

IF THE SLEW of recent sustainability conference themes and blogs is anything to go by, nature is having a moment.

It’s long overdue. The world’s forests, rivers, oceans and soils provide our food, air and water, as well

After decades of slow adoption of new technologies (US Water Alliance: Accelerate technology adoption to build efficiency and improve water service), the water sector is embracing AI as part of its digital transformation. AI has found its way into many potentially transformative applications, from water utilities to industrial applications, watershed monitoring,

YOU wouldn’t know it from the agendas of most climate-related events around the world (I’m looking at you COP 29) but there’s more to sustainability than carbon alone.

Brand leaders know this, but even there the debates are heavily dominated by net zero. Water needs a bigger seat at the table.

So, this week, to coincide with a titan on the sustainability conference circuit, Sustainable Brands, I thought I’d spell out the compelling reasons why brands sh
