Consultancy services for the Integrated Water Cycle Management in the sectors of water supply

Growing cities face increasing challenges affecting the provision of basic urban services. As a result, business-as-usual approaches may be too costly and not resilient to land use changes, climate change, and other future shocks. The Italian Water Utility Industry is changing the approach toward an Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) promising a better approach than the current system, in which water supply, sanitation, stormwater and wastewater are managed by isolated entities, and all four are separated from land-use planning and economic development. The Italian Water Utility Industry calls for the alignment of urban development and basin management to achieve sustainable economic, social, and environmental goals.
