Sustainability Solutions for the MS4 Sector

Against the backdrop of current market and non-market signals, a move towards investment in digital solutions becomes increasingly imperative for both the ag and municipal separate storm sewer systems or “MS4” sectors. This report describes five major drivers of change – policy and regulation; consumer and public awareness; corporate risk and responsibility; investor influence and climate resilience; and asset management and aging infrastructure – that are reshaping markets towards innovative, sustainable systems. The demand for data and environmental transparency will continue to shape factors for both the ag and MS4 sectors to diverge from the status quo, modify their actions, and adopt new technologies, practices, and mechanisms to conform with changing standards and consumer preferences.
