Smart Water Infrastructure (SWIG)


The Water New Zealand Smart Water Infrastructure Special Interest Group (SWIG) brings together water asset managers, operators, vendors, consultants and academics to increase the capacity of the water sector to adopt digital and smart water initiatives and solutions. Digital and Smart Water initiatives and solutions use data to improve water service delivery.

This Group shares collective knowledge and experiences of digital and smart water solutions, collaborates on work towards standards and consistent approaches and identifies key competencies and access to relevant training.



Membership of the groups is open to all Water New Zealand members. If you are a member and wish to belong to one of the special interest groups, make sure you are logged in, then simply send an email via the contact form at the bottom of this page.
