On-demand: How smart metering reshapes water security

Thursday 7 August at 2pm SAST (duration: one hour)

Across Africa, water scarcity, revenue loss, and infrastructure inefficiencies remain critical challenges for utilities and governments. But a recent breakthrough in Botswana is turning the tide.

Through the successful rollout of a large smart prepaid water meter pilot project, Botswana has set a new benchmark for how digital infrastructure can transform water management at scale.

Join us for an in-depth webinar exploring how smart metering is unlocking new possibilities for efficient water use and consumer empowerment. We’ll examine the pioneering implementation by Botswana’s Water Utilities Corporation (WUC), backed by a substantial public investment, and discuss how this model can be replicated and scaled across the continent.

The session will bring together industry leaders and technology experts to discuss:

• Key lessons from Botswana’s smart metering programme
• Technological innovations driving prepaid water solutions
• Policy, infrastructure and training considerations for successful rollouts
• The role of public-private partnerships in accelerating adoption

Whether you’re a utility executive, government official, or smart infrastructure innovator, this webinar offers a powerful glimpse into how Africa’s water future is being reshaped—one smart meter at a time.
