Shirley Ben-Dak, Vice-President of Strategy & Innovation for SWAN, joins the Water Foresight Podcast to offer her reflections on "Is Water Smart in 2040?" Shirley addresses the elastic term "smart water" and provides key insights into whether and in what form water may be "smart" in 2040. Also, we discussed the potential unintended consequences of continuing advances within the realm of smart water. Is there a "collapse" scenario in the future of water where society reaches a point of "digital capture"? Will society become too reliant and "exposed" with too much smart water technology? Finally, what are the ethical implications of the future of smart water? Will the ideas of privacy and informed consent be amplified or muted in the future of smart water? Should we fear a new, future IoT--an internet of toilets? The podcast is asking for a friend.
