Institutional capacity and policy options for integrated urban water management: a Singapore case study
Singapore is an exemplary model of integrated water management, according to the World Health Organization, and its experiences can be shared with others. Water security is not just the government's responsibility but has become everyone's business. Singapore has been selected as a case study for integrated urban water management (IUWM), and the methodologies used in Singapore, a developed city ...

Community-driven development as a driver of change: water supply and sanitation projects in rural Punjab, Pakistan
This paper examines the question: how effective is a community driven development (CDD) approach to rural water supply? Some theoretical advantages of CDD approaches include: (1) community choices are more attuned to local needs; (2) sustainable O&M is more likely; (3) social capital is built; (4) more participation yields better oversight and less corruption; and (5) communities become active ...

Discussion of the enabling environments for decentralised water systems
Decentralised water supply systems are becoming increasingly affordable and commonplace in Australia and have the potential to alleviate urban water shortages and reduce pollution into natural receiving marine and freshwater streams. Learning processes are necessary to support the efficient implementation of decentralised systems. These processes reveal the complex socio-technical and ...

Commercialisation and centralisation in the Ugandan and Zambian water sector
Reforms in the water supply and sanitation sector in Uganda and Zambia have appeared to favour increasing the scale of operations of the utilities. By elaborating on these cases, this article argues that the trend to centralisation is a consequence of a particular dimension of the New Public Management reform agenda, namely increased commercialisation in the water supply and sanitation sector. ...

Decentralisation, HRD and production efficiency of water utilities: evidence from India
Decentralisation of water supplies in developing countries is being promoted by international aid agencies. It is argued that decentralisation by a government close to the people will generate better project performance. This article compares the performance of piped water supply schemes run by the state governments and local government in central India and finds that the latter are running less ...

Combined consideration for decentralised non-potable water supply from local groundwater and nutrient load reduction in urban drainage
Integrated analysis of land use change and its effect on catchment water balance allows the selection of appropriate water and land management options for new urban developments to minimise the environmental impacts of urbanisation. A process-based coupled surface water-groundwater model was developed for Southern River catchment (Perth, Western Australia) to investigate the effect of urban ...

Full Water Cycle Solutions for Caribbean Resorts
Desalination and water reuse together offer a sustainable water and wastewater management solution Vacation resorts on Caribbean islands offer an idyllic escape from the rat race. But for operators, availability of fresh water can pose a challenge and limit growth. Once fresh water has been used within a resort, the wastewater generated must be appropriately treated and managed to prevent it ...

A basic bottom-up approach for small systems of safe-water supply: a decentralized case study in Uganda
In developing countries, diarrhea is known as the major cause of burden among children. Diarrhea is associated to poor quality of drinking water, inadequate sanitation and insufficient hygiene behavior. This work introduces a bottom-up approach for the implementation of a borehole installation in conjunction with proper water handling in rural areas. A pre-intervention survey was performed as a ...

U.S. Groundwater Reserves More Limited Than Assumed
In many parts of the U.S., farmers rely on groundwater to irrigate their fields. It’s long been assumed that there was a reliable supply of fresh water in deep “fossil aquifers,” but researchers are finding that these often contain brackish water not suitable for irrigation. Deep ‘fossil aquifers’ are more likely than expected to be brackish or contaminated As ...
