     Vision for automation
     • What is your vision for the future of automated
       systems?
     • Where is the sweet spot for automation in water
       and sanitation sector monitoring?
              – Data collection? Transmission? Alerts/standard report
                generation? Analytics?

     Cost of automation
     What are the life-cycle costs?
     •Developing and building automated system
     •Operations
     •Replacement after malfunction
     •Training, technical support, etc.

     Governance and learning
     Governance and learning
     •Is the data trusted?
     •Are analytic results accepted? Are they useful?
     •How can automation support (or stifle) learning?
     •Losing or creating jobs?
