Pervasive applications of AI and information technologies are providing relevant advantages in solving water related issues. If we look at water-related Sustainable Development Goals, all of them are positively affected by technological advances in computing, sensing, informed decision making, data handling. The fast technological growth of the last decade generated possibilities that were inconceivable in the past century but this improved capacity of sensing and understanding environmental processes created new challenges in order to wisely and effectively use all these new abilities. This session will look broadly at the water environment showing advanced AI applications and giving a glance to the future of water monitoring, modelling, data analysis.
