Understanding and addressing the problem of ‘lost water’ – with Erin Boeke Burke & Beth Burks, S&P Global Ratings

A Water Vlog, with Phil Alsop, Editor of Water Magazine.

Erin Boeke Burke, Director and Lead Analyst, Sustainable Finance, and Beth Burks, Director, Sustainable Finance, both at S&P Global Ratings, discuss the company’s recent report: “Lost Water: Challenges and Opportunities”, which looks at the topic of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) in terms of the problem it presents water supply companies across the globe, especially given increasing concerns around climate change and water scarcity.

Better asset management appears to be the best approach to successfully addressing the challenge of ‘lost water’.
