Water Resilience in Practice is co-edited by two experienced water
sector professionals and reviews resilience in water supply service
delivery. This will be in the form of a series of case studies from
different economic contexts - ranging from low-income and fragile
states to upper income countries. It will document real experiences
and reflect on the initiatives different service providers apply to
strengthen resilience in practice. It will describe how service
providers respond, adapt, innovate and learn on an ongoing basis,
and how they endeavour to meet challenges and provide water supply
to users equitably and sustainably. In recent years climate
resilience in water supply has been a new emerging paradigm. In
response it is helpful to document and record some up-to-date
experiences, which can be consolidated in one place. However, it is
also necessary to recognise the multiple pressures that water
resources face, such as: population growth, increased water
demands, existing climatic variability as well as climate change.
These pressures are having a profound impact on water supply
service delivery. In this context service providers and development
professionals must take active measures to respond to these risks.
This book is primarily addressed to organisations and practitioners
involved in planning, designing, managing and financing water
supply programmes in urban and rural settings.
