Advanced Water Assessment Tools Offer Valuable Insights MEB Energy boasts a diverse portfolio of solutions designed to tackle critical challenges in groundwater management and cybersecurity within the water sector. Our comprehensive approach is central to MEB’s technology management strategy.
Effectively addressing these challenges is essential for the sustainable development and management of infrastructure. Groundwater provides nearly half of the global population’s drinking water and supports almost half of all irrigation, yet it faces increasing stress. Despite being a renewable resource, excessive groundwater extraction, particularly in arid regions that depend heavily on agriculture, has caused significant declines in groundwater levels since the early 2000s. This trend, along with issues like land subsidence and heightened flood risks in coastal cities, underscores the urgent need for sustainable groundwater management practices.
We identify areas of rapid groundwater depletion to enable targeted strategies that prevent further decline. From initiatives to recharge groundwater supplies to developing alternative water sources, we empower communities to protect their water resources effectively.
In light of escalating cybersecurity threats, especially affecting water utilities, we advocate for a strong cybersecurity governance framework tailored to the specific operational technology landscape of the water sector. By fostering collaboration between private and public entities, we promote unified messaging, enhanced threat information sharing, and investments in technological transformation and R&D initiatives.
These coordinated efforts aim to bolster the water sector’s resilience against evolving cyber threats, ensuring the secure and continuous delivery of essential services to communities globally.
