NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--People, communities and the environment continue to be at risk as water challenges intensify around the world. By 2025, the United Nations estimates that 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity. Xylem (NYSE: XYL) is a leading global water technology company committed to solving critical water and infrastructure challenges with innovation.
At this year’s Water Environment Federation’s Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC) in New Orleans, Xylem will share its solutions to optimize operations and lower emissions. Through presentations in Xylem booth 4528 (see detailed agenda) held from October 10-12 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, visitors will learn how the adoption of digital solutions can make water more secure and sustainable for all.
“Whether we are helping a water pollution control facility in Indiana drastically reduce its energy waste, or supporting a facility in Arizona to avoid costly shutdowns, we work with our customers to address their most pressing challenges,” said Matthew Pine, senior vice president and president, Americas, Applied Water Systems and Measurement and Control Solutions. “We also understand the immense opportunity – and obligation – we have as an industry to reduce our sector’s greenhouse gas emissions, and we look forward to connecting with our customers and industry leaders at WEFTEC to outline how we can work together to support this goal.”
On Tuesday, October 11, Austin Alexander, vice president, Sustainability and Social Impact at Xylem, will present an Innovation Pavilion session on Net Zero: The Race We All Win at 10 a.m. CT.
