Dr. Manohar is the only utility head from India selected for this global advisory group. He will serve alongside five other members representing water utilities from Australia, Canada, Portugal, Brazil and the United States. This is also seen as the international recognition of the recent technology-driven steps taken by the BWSSB, particularly the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-based systems in managing Bengaluru’s water supply and sewerage network.
