CEO 2S Water Incorporated

What are your hopes for the future of our water sources?

I want to see our precious water sources protected and preserved. Not only are they the source of water for our communities, but also a critical part of the ecosystem that we need to protect for generations to come. This isn’t just our work, it’s our duty.

Why is water quality still a topic of concern globally? If you could change one thing about the way water quality is managed currently, what would it be?

I would put more data into the mix. Operators and businesses want to do better. They want to do their part. We need to enable them to do it. And data is the missing part of that equation. We need to see into the water and know what’s happening so we can take the right action at the right time for water quality management.

Our resources are limited, water chief among them. Industrial processes are releasing more containments into the water than every before in human history. Water quality is still a topic of concern because the situation is still worsening. We have not reached the peak of poor water quality yet.

What role does the water industry play in improving water quality? What role do you think technology will play in securing water quality?

Technology will be pivotal in water quality going forward. By using the best of new technology coming forward, and by adapting that technology quickly, we can keep our economic engines running while protecting and preserving our water.

Industry is largely the creator of poor water quality, and it is very encouraging to see recent efforts to control and curb that effect, above and beyond the governmental enforced standards. But there is still much work to be done, and we cannot stop pushing forward to take better care of our water, and to increase our environmental stewardship. What steps are you taking to help improve water quality?

Our whole business, our whole mission is around improving water quality. Without data there can be no change. 2S Water and the AquaValid sensor are all about generating the data that operators and companies need to improve water quality, and finding ways to do it that also decrease costs and increase efficiencies. Not only are they the source of water for our communities, but also a critical part of the ecosystem that we need to protect for generations to come.
