This book examines changes and transitions in the way water is
managed in urban environments. This book originated from a joint
French-Australian initiative on water and land management held in
Montpellier, France. The book delivers practical insights into
urban water management. It links scientific insights of researchers
with the practical experiences of urban water practitioners to
understand and respond to key trends in how urban water is
supplied, treated and consumed. The 51 contributors to the volume
provide a range of insights, case studies, summaries and analyses
of urban water and from a global perspective. The first section on
water supply and sanitation includes case studies from Zimbabwe,
France and South Africa, among others. Water demand and water
economics are addressed in the second section of the book, with
chapters on long-term water demand forecasting, the social
determinants of water consumption in Australian cities, a study of
water quality and consumption in France, governance and regulation
of the urban water sector and more. The third section explores
water governance and integrated management, with chapters on water
management in Quebec, in the Rotterdam-Rijnmond urban area, in
Singapore and in Australia. The final section offers perspectives
on challenges and future uncertainties for urban water systems in
transition. Collectively, the diverse insights provide an important
step forward in response to the challenges of sustainably
delivering water safely, efficiently and equitably.
