- At WEX Global 2025, Aganova emphasized the critical role of technology and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in achieving a Water Positive future, demonstrating how leak detection solutions can drive real impact on water sustainability with fast implementation and measurable results.
Valencia, Spain | February 14, 2025 — From February 10 to 12, WEX Global 2025 gathered industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the most pressing challenges in sustainable water management. As a Technology Sponsor, Aganova played a pivotal role in the conversation, showcasing its expertise in water efficiency, Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction, and innovative replenishment solutions.
During the event, Francisco J. Muñoz, International Business Development Director at Aganova, was invited to participate in two key discussions on sustainable water strategies:
Panel Discussion: Sustainable Solutions – Building a Catalytic Community for a Water-Positive World
On February 11, 2025, Francisco Muñoz took the stage in a high-level panel discussion focused on the role of technology in achieving Water Positive outcomes. He highlighted how organizations must go beyond conservation efforts and embrace active water replenishment strategies, such as restoring natural sources, implementing NRW reduction programs, and leveraging advanced leak detection technology to optimize water resources.
Francisco explained how Aganova’s Nautilus system enables water utilities to detect and repair leaks in large-diameter pipelines, preventing significant water losses and ensuring supply reliability. This type of initiative not only supports corporate water stewardship goals but also reinforces the resilience of water-stressed regions, particularly in Mediterranean countries, the Middle East, and non-coastal areas where desalination is not an option.
He also emphasized that Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are key to turning replenishment projects into reality, uniting private corporations, water utilities and technology providers. By collaborating across sectors, stakeholders can accelerate the implementation of water stewardship initiatives, achieving impactful and measurable sustainability results.
Roundtable Discussion: Water Stewardship as a Catalyst for Sustainability Goals
Later that day, Francisco Muñoz joined an engaging roundtable to explore collaborative models like water balancing and replenishment, which create transformative environmental and social impact.
The discussion highlighted how water stewardship—when fully integrated into broader sustainability strategies—can support all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), tackling environmental, social, and economic challenges holistically. In particular, the conversation underscored the importance of SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), which fosters multi-stakeholder collaboration to amplify impact.
A Clear Path to Water Positive Outcomes
One of the key conclusions from Aganova’s participation at WEX Global 2025 is that reducing NRW through leak detection is one of the most effective and immediate solutions to replenish water resources. Unlike large-scale infrastructure projects, which require complex civil works, advanced leak detection technologies provide fast, cost-effective, and measurable benefits.
These solutions create a triple-win scenario—benefiting companies striving for sustainability, utilities improving their service reliability, and communities securing long-term water access.
At Aganova, we remain committed to advancing water stewardship through innovative technology and strong partnerships.
And remember, THERE IS NO GREEN WITHOUT BLUE.
