GIZ participates in the Working Group Water 4.0 of German Water Partnership (GWP). Water 4.0 puts digitization and automation at the strategy for resource-efficient, flexible and competitive water management. In doing this, Water 4.0 incorporates the same main features and terms of INDUSTRY 4.0, such as "networking of machines, processes, storage systems and resources", "smart grids", "Internet of things and services" and brings them together in a systemic water management context.
