There is growing evidence that water scarcity, changes in precipitation patterns and extreme weather events combined with socioeconomic vulnerabilities are driving migration and displacement. In 2016, climate and water-related disasters were responsible for displacing 23.5 million people. Closing the knowledge gaps by gathering statistics, data and information on migration and its drivers, is key to support evidence-based policies, programmes and investments to tackle migration.

Optimizing the monitoring of (i) the development and operation of water assets and (ii) the management of the public drinking water supply service (DWSS), implies detailed and dynamic control of the assets and a capacity to monitor and control the operating data of the assets.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) offer many opportunities to set up adapted, inclusive and participative tools.
