What we covered:
๐ฅท๐ฝ How many of the water challenges we face fly under the radar in places where no one actually expects them - and what to do about itย
๐๏ธ How centralized infrastructure may not be future-proof and how decentralized and distributed systems rapidly take overย

๐ What the rapid evolution of the Amazon Water Filter segment tells about the expectations of end-users and the reactivity of some sections of the Water Industryย
