When a city runs out of water, there’s no backup plan. You cannot simply ship in enough to keep a metropolis functioning. The volume and weight make it physically impossible. Yet this scenario is becoming increasingly likely as infrastructure ages, climate patterns shift and populations grow.

Francois Gouws, Managing Director of TRILITY, has witnessed this transformation firsthand. When he stepped into his role a decade ago, his company dealt with a major flood, bushfire or drought every three-to-four years. Today, it handles three or four such events annually.

"It’s become almost business as usual, dealing with a flood or a severe bushfire," Gouws says on CEO: Behind the Scenes. "The intensity of the floods, the intensity of the rainstorms are becoming much, much more severe."
