IBM – the company I always think of first for assistance with managing publicly owned water resources. Only these companies have the power to do something for the country as well as for public. I appreciate your writing. Looking forward to read more.

Big companies like IBM stand to make a lot of money by building these smart networks and use of technologies. They will easily get customers if customers can save money by using their technology or tools. It is definitely a win for IBM, the customers, and the planet as well.

Wow… Interesting that IBM is playing a big role in this. Are they just looking into the matter of smart-water management plans or doing something regarding this? Can you post something else on your blog related to this issue? I would like to read more on this.

Good to know that some big technology brands like IBM are spending up on Research & Development in the water industry. It looks like we are going to see some great products coming out of this investment. Keep posting some more details on this issue.

Today, there are a number of opportunities available for smart technologies in water, and electricity. Many of these systems run on decades old technology and are rather unproductive in terms of time inefficiencies. Thanks for letting us know, what IBM is doing for water conservation..!!

Nice article. This is badly needed. It is one major issue though water is not the only thing underground that is falling apart. Oil and gas lines and even electricity are facing the same problem. I think a lot of it has to do with our fast need for expansion and it doesn’t leave much room to go back and fix things.

Great info, Ricky. Good that you have highlighted this news. We need more techniques and tools for stopping water wastage. If we calculate, that 20-30 percent of water is wasted on a daily basis then how much we are going to suffer in our near future?

Just like the rest of the US infrastructure this is something that is needed. Electricity is definitely a major issue which needs to be resolved but IBM is concentrating on water conservation and it will really make our future bright. Keep it up.

We need a few more social programs started by big websites like IBM. There is a need to upgrade our infrastructure and look for new ways. Your article is great….!! I am happy that IBM is thinking over water management plans and planning to do something in this context.

I really appreciate efforts like this by IBM….possibly it could lend a hand in the US while road departments allow broken sprinkler heads to waste hundreds or thousands of gallons of water for weeks while they intimidate to fine me for watering my yard so it doesn’t die.
