Welcome to Our Future Water’s newsletter on “Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for Urban Water Management,” delving into green roofs, green streets, and stormwater harvesting for resilient and sustainable cities. In recent years, cities have faced increasing challenges in managing their water resources. From flooding to water scarcity, […]
Welcome to Our Future Water's newsletter on "net-zero water utilities," exploring the future of water management for a sustainable planet.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. As a result, climate change occurs, significantly affecting water resources by intensifying the water cycle, which in turn causes more severe rainfall, flooding, and droughts in various regions.
Therefore, it is vital for water utilities to aim for net-zero emissions, effectively reducing their greenhouse gas contributions and lessening the impact on water resources.
Welcome to Our Future Water’s newsletter on “Water Reimagined,” exploring the future of water management for a sustainable planet.
Water is an indispensable resource that sustains life, drives economic growth, and maintains the health of our environment. However, in the face of a rapidly growing global population, escalating water scarcity, and the mounting pressures of climate change, traditional water management practices are proving inadequate to meet the ever-evolving challenges of the 21st century. It is now more important than ever to rethink and reimagine how we manage our precious water resources to ensure their long-term sustainability, accessibility, and resilience.
In this issue, we will focus on three key themes that are instrumental in shaping the future of water management: climate resilient water resource management, ecosystem-based approaches to water management, and collaborative and participatory decision-making processes
