At Jacobs, we recognize that water challenges are complex and interconnected. With our OneWater approach, we work across traditional water management silos to develop holistic, integrated solutions for our clients.
With this OneWater approach, we also recognize that all water has value. Wastewater is no longer seen as a waste, but as a precious resource that we can reclaim, repurpose and reuse. Utilities, industries and water-scarce regions are implementing water reuse schemes and water systems capable of recovering energy, carbon and nutrients – recognizing the value of conserving water, optimizing their operations and reducing their energy and carbon footprint.
Increasingly, this requires recognizing water’s connections to other systems – including the energy and food production we all rely upon. The Water-Energy-Food Nexus highlights the interconnectivity of these three critical resources and how we must work in novel, collaborative ways to conserve water resources, generate clean energy and sustain our communities. Whether its waste-to-energy projects or Digital OneWater tools that optimize energy usage, innovative cross-sector solutions are required to meet the challenges of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus.
Learn more from the Jacobs team at WEFTEC, Oct. 5 – 9 in New Orleans. We have 40+ thought leaders presenting and moderating sessions on key water topics, including the Water-Energy-Food Nexus:
- Water reuse
- Hydrogen production
- Renewable energy generation
- Emissions reduction
- Machine learning and AI
- Hybrid digital twins
- Flood risk management
- PFAS in biosolids
Digital OneWater at WEFTEC 2024
At Jacobs, we understand the challenges our clients face in managing vast amounts of data and transforming it into actionable insights. Data, like water, is a valuable resource, and the key to unlocking its full potential lies in how you connect to, access, and act on it.
Join Vice President of Operations Division at Jacobs, John Rickermann, and Deployment Strategist at Palantir, Anita Beveridge-Raffo, on Monday, October 7th, at 3:30 p.m. CDT in the Product Launch Theater as they address critical issues in water management. They will cover topics such as optimizing asset performance, enhancing operational efficiency, navigating steeper regulations and tackling understaffing issues.
Discover how Jacobs' Digital OneWater solutions, including Palantir’s Foundry and AIP, are transforming data access, analysis and utilization. This unified platform provides unmatched visibility across networks and treatment facilities, streamlining planning, operations and maintenance with automation and AI support.
Jacobs will also be holding an expo and networking event on Tuesday, 8th October between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.
