Valuing Surface Water: Turning Unseen Costs into Measurable Returns

Valuing surface water goes far beyond putting a price on a cubic meter of drinking water. Traditionally, water is treated as a commodity, but this narrow approach overlooks its full worth: the role of surface water in ecosystems, public health, operational efficiency, and long-term resilience. Poor surface water quality not only increases treatment costs; it also creates hidden financial losses, ecological decline, and regulatory risks.

In this webinar, LG Sonic will show how rethinking the economics of surface water helps decision-makers reduce costs, restore ecosystems, and strengthen sustainable water strategies. Using real-world case studies, we will demonstrate how innovative solutions deliver measurable ROI while protecting surface water resources.
