Why to Invest in Urban Water Management?
Business Case of Urban Water
The era of fresh water abundance is coming to
its end due to 3 intersecting factors:
LOW PRECIPITATION
due to climate change
20% - 40%
less rain
HIGH WATER LOSS
due to aging water supply network
40% - 60%
water loss
HIGH WATER DEMAND
due to increase water usage
1% increase
per annum
all these intersecting factors lead to:
Extreme Water Stress
Water stress occurs when water demand exceeds the available amount of water, making water utilities impose continuous water supply shutdowns on communities.
Extremely – high water stress around the globe
The World in 2030
Only 1 of these factors is manageable:
LOW PRECIPITATION
due to climate change
20% - 40%
less rain
HIGH WATER LOSS
due to aging water supply network
40% - 60%
water loss
HIGH WATER DEMAND
due to increase water usage
1% increase

The only feasible option for adaptation to water stress is for water utilities, cities and communities to perform optimal management of the existing water supply network combined with high-return rehabilitation activities that decrease water loss.
