An interview with ESI - an industry magazine - in the margins of Africa Utility Week. David Schaub-Jones is on the advisory board.
Steering the flow of water in modern cities
“One definition of a resilient, smart city is a city that harnesses all resources at its disposal to cope with multiple challenges. Yet we find that existing water sector investments currently favour "built infrastructure" to pipe, store and filter water, writes David Schaub-Jones, Water Funds Programme Manager at The Nature Conservancy and an African Utility Week Advisory Board member.
Urban water utilities in sub-Saharan Africa source at least half of their public water supply from surface water (3.5 billion cubic meters annually), while the rest of the supply comes primarily from groundwater”.
