It's been an amazing year on the (don't) Waste Water podcast!

52 awesome guests shared their expertise on the microphone, and we covered quite a lot of topics. Too much to digest in 10 minutes? No worries, I prepared a series of syntheses to give you a sound understanding of some key topics we covered.

The deal? If you like it, please share it with your friends!

In 2015, 193 countries agreed at the United Nations on a 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Broken down by goals, it shall place us in a much better position by then.

The UN Sustainable Development Goal number 6 - or SDG6 - is usually the one of interest for the Water Industry. Achieving it equals providing Water and Sanitation for All, by 2030.

The problem is, that we struggle to achieve it. Right now, progress is running at a quarter of the speed it should! This means that by 2030 we shall not only miss SDG6 but in many places be in a worse position than we were in 2015 - especially when it comes to sanitation and hygiene.

So, what to do about it? We've been covering the question the entire year long, hence all these inputs from a fantastic expert panel.

Currently in its 10th Season, the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast has already welcomed around 250 guests from Water Majors (SUEZ, Veolia, Jacobs, Xylem, Kemira, Evoqua, Aquatech, SKion Water...), Scale-Ups (Cambrian Innovation, Epic Cleantec, Gradiant, Liqtech, 374Water, Gingko Bioworks...), Start-Ups (Puraffinity, KETOS, 120Water, ZwitterCo, Membrion, Source...), Universities (Berkeley, the Columbia Water Center), Investment Funds (Sciens Water, Mazarine, Burnt Island Ventures...), Business Accelerators (Imagine H2O, Elemental...), Book Authors (Seth Siegel, David Sedlak, David Lloyd Owen...) or Market Intelligence Companies (BlueTech Research, Global Water Intelligence, World Bank, OECD, Isle Utilities...). Or simply water legends like Gary White, Mina Guli or Andrew Benedek!

On the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast, I strive to make the Water Industry easy to understand for everyone, starting with water professionals, executives, and investors. Hence, he opens the microphone to seasoned, inspirational water experts to discuss their field of excellence.

No one can claim an all-around in-depth understanding of a matter as complex as Water. But piece by piece, you can rebuild the puzzle. With curiosity, patience, and passion, Antoine Walter explores topics such as Advanced Treatment Technologies, Water-Energy Nexus (Hydrogen, Lithium...), PFAS removal, Nature-Based Solutions, Wastewater Reuse, Distributed Water Treatments, Water Finance, and Water Entrepreneurship.

I actually firmly believe that regular listeners of the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast may, in the end, claim a "Water MBA!"

A particular field of interest is how innovation forms, grows and gets widely adopted in a complex and conservative field like the Water Industry. This may be one of the keys to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal n°6 - #SDG6.

Oh, and in short, about me: I'm a water engineer turned avid student of the water business, market, finance, and tech. I'm married, a happy father of three, and I'm French (nobody's perfect 😅).
