Texas is at the center of a global digital boom, but the infrastructure powering our apps and AI requires a sustainable blueprint for water. Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of digital growth and resource resilience. A preview of a related panel that will be held on March 16 in the Innovation track of SXSW. This webinar will be moderated by Julie Nahrgang, the Executive Director of the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT), and explores how the state is pioneering the transition from water consumption to water positivity.
Our panel brings together three critical perspectives: Fidan Karimova of The Water Environment Federation discusses how innovation, financing, and collaboration drive the shift from linear to circular systems; Dr. Margaret Cook from the Houston Advanced Research Center provides data-driven insights into the long-term impacts of data centers on regional aquifers; and John Rydzewski of Carollo shares the technical realities of designing the reuse infrastructure that makes these goals possible.
From academic research to real-world engineering, learn how Texas is leveraging treated effluent and innovative cooling technologies to secure a circular water economy.
