Future Water Association’s Water Dragons provides a unique opportunity for companies to pitch their innovative water products, services or processes to a panel of water sector specialists – the ‘Dragons’.

A heat of the Water Dragons competition will be held at Future Water Networks 2019

Future Water Networks 2019 promises to be a ‘knowledge blitz’ on the core areas of water and wastewater network management and we are looking for products, services or processes that will demonstrate clear and distinct benefits for these networks.
