Why is Germany 30 years ahead of England?
The question is asked why Germany in the field of water management is 30 years ahead of England? In terms of the delivery of integrated urban water management technologies, Germany is indeed 20 to 30 years in advance of England. The comparison is made on 12 dimensions and illustrates how dramatic the effect of governance can be in the adoption of innovations in water management and hence the ...

A mathematical approach to find long-term strategies for the implementation of resource-orientated sanitation
In the present discussion of sustainability centralised water infrastructures are exposed to new challenges, which may cause a conceptual alteration in urban water management. If technologies for closing urban water and nutrient cycles are to at least partially replace existing systems, then intensive reconstruction work becomes essential. The paper presents the development and implementation ...

A novel integrated assessment methodology of urban water reuse
Wastewater is no longer considered a waste product and water reuse needs to play a stronger part in securing urban water supply. Although treatment technologies for water reclamation have significantly improved the question that deserves further analysis is, how selection of a particular wastewater treatment technology relates to performance and sustainability? The proposed assessment model ...

Smart Water Cities Project
Following the successful delivery of the SWM case study report, IWRA, K-water and the Asia Water Council (AWC) agreed to initiate a new phase of collaboration from 2020 to December 2023 with the Smart Water Cities project. The Smart Water Cities project is a three-year project dedicated to the analysis of smart water technologies in urban developments. It is run collaboratively by IWRA, the ...

Balancing water demand reduction and rainfall runoff minimisation: modelling green roofs, rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse systems
Recent years have seen a growing interest in more distributed approaches towards stormwater management, often integrated with other forms of distributed management of urban water such as water demand management technologies. This paper focuses on the role of green roofs (GR), rainwater harvesting (RWH) and greywater reuse and their integration at the building level. A number of models were ...

An integrated system dynamics – cellular automata model for distributed water-infrastructure planning
Modern distributed water-aware technologies (including, for example, greywater recycling and rainwater harvesting) enable water reuse at the scale of household or neighbourhood. Nevertheless, even though these technologies are, in some cases, economically advantageous, they have a significant handicap compared to the centralized urban water management options: it is not easy to estimate a ...
