    The Origin of the iWUC Program

    The iWUC idea was initiated by Abu Dhabi (Water) Transmission & Dispatch Company (Transco) driven primarily in recognition of the key strategic and operational challenges facing the water supply services sector. The absence of a platform that goes beyond traditional benchmarking that utilizes practical industry experience in combination with focused data analysis, insight & correlation, as evidenced by UMS Group platforms for other utilities such as power transmission and distribution, has transformed iWUC from concept to reality. iWUC was conceived to address industry challenges such as:

    • Water quality and scarcity reaching crisis proportions worldwide
    • Aging infrastructure and workforces
    • Stricter national and international regulatory requirements
    • Conflicting drivers within the water sector value chain
    • Increasing operational and capital investment costs
