Manage episode 430510355 series 2556432
Jeffrey Johnson, PhD, PE operates at the intersection of expertise, innovation and
technology to advance sustainability efforts that will revolutionize the water
industry while protecting the future of generations to come.
Tapping in-depth knowledge of domestic and global water issues honed through business and academic experience, Jeffrey leads groundbreaking work related to stormwater, wastewater, potable water, agricultural water, and coastal environments. His work harnesses artificial intelligence to provide data and practical insights to a world watching its most precious resource — water — slip through the cracks.

to a $7.5 billion revenue loss — Jeffrey is committed to transformative
change to create a future where water resources are managed with the
utmost efficiency and sustainability.

“Here's what I'm most excited about these days. It's our work around aging infrastructure and this crossroads that we found ourselves at in the United States with our water infrastructure. And you look at the American Society of Civil Engineers, as a proud member there, and they put out an infrastructure report card every so often where they look at bridges, roads, communications, water, and they give it a grade for the country. And you look at water across the spectrum of drinking water, wastewater, stormwater report cards, not good.”
