agree  Armorel Young: absolutely - "witness" isn't the right word here; "undergo" might also work

Although I don' think it has to do with water wheels and feel uncomfortable with the dual interpretation of revolution in one sentence, I offer an alternative suggestion:
and the revolution will continue to evolve for some time to come.

will continue to see/bring about many revolutionary innovations/more revolutionary change


Explanation:
I'd still say, it's often better to translate holistically than to parse each word individually. The outcome is more idiomatic, in my opinion, while still being accurate.

"4.0 underscores that the quest for a better understanding of our water resources is (a process that is) ongoing and will continue to see/bring about many revolutionary innovations/more revolutionary change"
