Survey for the Australian and New Zealand Water Sector

The Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) is working together with the Australian Water Association (AWA) and the Internet of Things Association Australia (IoTAA). The project is to enhance the interaction between SME’s (including start-ups) with water businesses in Australia and New Zealand in a meaningful way to stimulate technology uptake and enhance innovation in the sector. 

The start of this process is participation in this survey, which will go to both SME's and water utilities. This survey would be followed up by a series of workshops to define the key roadblocks and develop meaningful long-term approaches that would benefit both parts of the sector. 

If you are interested in being part of the follow up workshops then please leave your details at the end of this survey. 

It is intended that the results of the survey will be summarised in a manner that doesn't not allow identification of contributors, with the intention that the results would form a report that would be provided to contributors that leave their contact details.

In terms of completing the survey, where questions use a 1 to 5 start rating, 1 star is the lowest/worst rating, 5 stars are the highest/best.
