Water security is the crisis hiding in plain sight – and most of us don't realize how close we are to the edge. In this episode, Francois Gouws, Managing Director of TRILITY, reveals why major cities are heading into another drought, how 100-year-old underground infrastructure is quietly failing beneath our feet and why the water we take for granted could become our scarcest resource.

Gouws discusses why desalination and recycled water are no longer optional and how AI and robotics are revolutionizing the way we predict pipe failures before disaster strikes.

Packed with insights on climate adaptation and the hidden technology keeping cities alive, this conversation will change how you think about the water flowing from your tap. 

Listen now to discover how collaboration is preparing Australia for the crisis ahead.
