"Similarly to centralised energy, cen- tralised water solutions are inefficient, unsustainable, and highly vulnerable to climate change," the paper argues. In this new design paradigm, water, energy and agriculture become less centralised, and interrelate more directly with one another to form distributed networks whose role within communities is multi-faceted. Integrators are vital in new paradigm An important feature of this new infrastruc- ture design paradigm is that it envisages an increasingly pivotal role for systems integrators. "Systems integrators, bringing together design and innovative technol - ogy, will support distributed networks," the report states. As client demands for design and delivery around distributed and, most likely connected, networks, are shaping up in this new way, providers are increas- ingly looking either to amass a breadth of technology in-house, or to build up their capabilities in managing collaborative part- nerships with external tech providers.

The big infrastructure engineers certainly look to be interested in water, and that includes eyeing the opportuni - ties in the rapidly growing water reuse market, particularly in the US, India, and China. MWH Global has 187 offices in 26 countries, including a strong presence in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South and Central America, US, and the Middle East. Bob Gomes, Stantec president and chief executive officer, explains the deal thus: "MWH brings new geographic presence, acclaimed industry reputation, and most importantly, shared values in its dedication to communities." Water, energy, and agriculture form new networks Those shared values regarding "dedication to communities" may sound a bit vague, but Gomes' comment speaks to the emerg- ing culture around water projects that is challenging engineers to become more widely capable, and adept at managing the needs of multiple stakeholders. In its March 2017 white paper, 'Water Futures: Water, Energy and Agriculture to 2035', MWH Global argues that in water, the new paradigm for infrastructure design is dis - The new shape of Suez Suez total revenues 2016: €15,322m Total industrial water revenues 2016, with GE Water: €2,509m Europe 20% East Asia Pacific 20% Latam 7% Middle East and Africa 5% North America 48% €200m €400m €100m €400m €118m €118m €14m €59m €200m €1bn Water Europe 27% Industrial Water 14% Recycling & Recovery Europe 36% International 21% Industrial Water Suez 70% owned Suez 30% owned Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ)
