Improving the stimulation and management of innovation by water utilities is a key mechanism through which the challenges of securing sustainable water and wastewater services will be achieved. This paper describes the process of adopting source control interventions (SCIs) by water and sewerage...

Water management is undergoing a transformation towards integration, source controland ecological thinking. In the EU, the Water Framework Directive can be consideredas a driver towards this new approach to water management. Innovations are deemednecessary to deliver this ideal of water...

Knowledge relating to the coevolution of communities and the technological, economic and natural systems that sustain them comes from a variety of sources. However, interdisciplinary, or more specifically integrated, analyses that formally consider issue-driven and policy-relevant output are now...

The purpose of this final chapter is to identify the common themes of the three projects (WSM, Medis, and Aquadapt), to integrate and harmonise the results and approaches adopted by each, and to discuss conclusions and potential policy implications that can feed into the EU Water Framework...

Bayesian networks have received increasing recognition in recent years as apotentially effective tool in supporting water management decisions. Despite anumber of reports of their use, no formal evaluation of the effectiveness of Bayesiannetworks in facilitating water resources management...

Complexity of challenges associated with water resources management isincreasing due to factors such as climate variability and uncertainty, increasedregulatory requirements, changes in planning horizons, and trans-boundaryconsiderations. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) andAdaptive...

Water charges in the UK, Ireland, Canada and parts of the USA are largely based upon house value rather than consumption. This paper shows how charges based upon consumption could facilitate trading among metered consumers and provide incentives to non-metered customers to switch to a metered...
