The year 2020 was a time of dramatic change that tested people and industries across the globe. Environmental experts note that climate change, digital adoption and Covid recovery are intertwined.

Join the Opti movement, now is the time to protect your communities.
Digital Water at the Forefront
Bluefield Research described digital water as the fastest growing space in the water sector as a result of drastic economic changes. Bluefield estimates expenditures on digital water hardware, software, and services will jump from $5.4 billion in 2019 to $10.8 billion by 2030. "The recent fallout has led to changes in consumer behaviors, company operations, and strategic planning overnight. As a result, the water industry is compelled to pivot toward more resilient services, solutions, and sectors." Adopting cloud-based water technology and embracing the Opti wave is a step toward recovery and resilience.
The Virginia Transportation Research Council conducted user interviews to understand the CMAC experience. Here are some highlights:

We all need to pull together and build the bridge to our safe future. The wave is here and the industry needs to ride it. Our environment has been moving in the wrong direction. Every day we hear and read about billion dollar storms, intense levels of precipitation, neighborhoods flooding, people getting sick and lives being lost. Together we can fix this situation. We have the technology and the intelligence to tackle our climate challenges.
Our environment has been moving in the wrong direction. Together, we must change our mindset and practices to heal the planet.
Stanford researchers published a study stating that intensifying precipitation has caused $75 billion in damage from 1988 to 2017. NOAA reported a record breaking 22 major weather events in 2020, totaling $95 billion in losses. This does not have to be an annual occurrence. Don't let billions go down the drain! The time to act is now, Opti has the solution. Assess Your Community Risk
The National Risk Index is an online tool created through collaboration with FEMA, academic professionals, and private industries. The NRI indicates risk level in communities across the country based on socioeconomic and environmental factors. Using this tool, planners and decision makers can better evaluate the risk of their communities. This tool helps with "enhancing hazard mitigation plans, identifying the need for more refined risk assessments, encouraging community-level risk communication and engagement, developing codes and standards, informing long-term community recovery, and prioritizing and allocating resources." Water Technology in Real Estate
Opti CEO David Rubinstein spoke to New England Real Estate Journal about the year in review. While 2020 had its difficulties, Opti continued to deliver optimal environmental outcomes to public and private sectors. For commercial real estate in 2021, "We hope to see an acceleration in the adoption of smart building and water technologies. We can cure a lot of environmental ills and increase operating profits to everyone's benefit." Read the full piece here.
