About Water Industry Process Automation & Control:

Water Industry Process Automation & Control is an organization that stemmed from the setup of a group on LinkedIn. The group has got to the point where it is actively creating both national and international interest to register it as a company/organization on LinkedIn. The group specializes in the discussion and dissemination of information on instrumentation, process automation, and control within the water industry on a global basis. The objectives of the organization are to promote the successes in the use of instrumentation, automation and control, and highlight the failures that are bound to happen. The requirement for this is based on the fact that the water industry is expected to deliver more water to customers through population growth, clean more water at wastewater treatment works to a greater standard, and all whilst utilizing less energy and carbon. Realistically, this can only be done by increasing the amount of instrumentation, increasing the automation, and improving on the way that the data and information and increasing the amount of products the industry produces.  This sentence makes no sense.  This in turn will increase the efficiency in the way the industry operates. https://www.linkedin.com/company/water-industry-process-automation-&-control/
