RYE BROOK, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–At World Water Week 2017 in Stockholm, Xylem (NYSE:XYL), a leading
global water technology company, will lead and participate in forums
focused on accelerating the smarter management of water and wastewater.
Taking place from August 27- September 1, World Water Week will center
on the theme of “Water and Waste: Reduce and Reuse” and be attended by
more than 3,000 professionals from some 300 businesses, agencies and
non-governmental organizations.

On Sunday, August 27, Xylem is co-convening a forum entitled “Data
Drought: An Assessment of Global Hydrological Monitoring Systems”
along with Duke University, the Aspen Institute and the University of
Oxford. This multi-stakeholder discussion will assess the severe decline
in critical global water monitoring infrastructure, explore the
challenges and solutions to up-scaling this infrastructure as well as
the implications of non-action, and define next steps for collaboration.
The session will be led by Albert Cho, Xylem’s Vice President of
Strategy and Business Development, Alex Fischer of the Smith School of
Enterprise and Environment at University of Oxford, and Martin Doyle of
Duke University and the Aspen Institute.

Xylem will co-convene a second workshop on Tuesday, August 29 entitled “Powering
the Wastewater Renaissance: Emissions Reduction in Wastewater Management”
with the European Water Association and IVL Swedish Environmental
Research Institute. Xylem’s recent research shows that smart technology
investments in the wastewater sector can cut the global sector’s
electricity-related greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and save nearly $40
billion. This event will foster a multi-stakeholder discussion to
explore the opportunity, challenges and potential solutions to driving
adoption of smart technologies in wastewater management. This session
will be led by Xylem’s Randolf Webb and Aleksandra Lazic, Károly Kovács
of the European Water Association and Christian Baresel of IVL Swedish
Environmental Research Institute.

On Monday, August 28, Xylem’s Mr. Cho will participate in the “21st
Century Technology: Bridging the Gap to Wastewater Reuse” workshop. The
panel will discuss the economic and environmental benefits of water
reuse and how readily-available technologies can drive effective,
financially-successful reuse programs.
