Title of Presentation: Enhancing Global Water Sustainability with Generative AI

About:
Global water sustainability is essential for resilient socioeconomics and the environment. Generative AI offers a transformative approach to water resources management across hydrology, hydraulics, treatment, and socioecohydrology. It has the potential to analyze complex datasets to automate workflows, data analysis, efficient modelling, predict floods, and enhance infrastructure design. This technology provides data-driven solutions for demand forecasting, leak detection, and integrates social and ecological factors in water management. While fostering innovation and delivering scalable solutions for water sustainability challenges, it’s important to note that generative AI is evolving to address issues like hallucination and accuracy. Ultimately, human oversight remains crucial in ensuring global water sustainability, with AI serving as a powerful tool to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
