DIGITALISING WATER. EMPOWERING UTILITIES.

Smart water networks are transforming how we manage one of our most precious resources - tackling leakage, consumption, cost and climate resilience head-on.

At Enlit Europe 2025, we’ve teamed up with DLMS to launch a dedicated Smart Water Networks programme in the Digitalisation Hub. Join sessions with industry leaders, discover the latest technologies, and network with utilities, solution providers, planners and policymakers driving smarter, more sustainable water systems.
