Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The European project initiative TRUST will produce knowledge and guidance to support TRansitions to Urban Water Services of Tomorrow, enabling communities to achieve sustainable, low-carbon water futures without compromising service quality. We deliver this ambition through close collaboration with problem owners in ten participating pilot city regions under changing and challenging conditions in Europe and Africa. Our work provides research driven innovations in governance, modelling concepts, technologies, decision support tools, and novel approaches to integrated water, energy, and infrastructure asset management. An extended understanding of the performance of contemporary urban water services will allow detailed exploration of transition pathways. Urban water cycle analysis will include use of an innovative systems metabolism model, derivation of key performance indicators, risk assessment, as well as broad stakeholder involvement and an analysis of public perceptions and governance modes. A number of emerging technologies in water supply, waste and storm water treatment and disposal, in water demand management and in the exploitation of alternative water sources will be analysed in terms of their cost-effectiveness, performance, safety and sustainability. Cross-cutting issues include innovations in urban asset management and water-energy nexus strengthening. The most promising interventions will be demonstrated and legitimised in the urban water systems of the ten participating pilot city regions. TRUST outcomes will be incorporated into planning guidelines and decision support tools, will be subject to life-cycle assessment, and be shaped by regulatory considerations as well as potential environmental, economic and social impacts. Outputs from the project will catalyse transformatory change in both the form and management of urban water services and give utilities increased confidence to specify innovative solutions to a range of pressing challenges.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Supplies of fresh clean drinking water and safe water sanitation are at risk from a number of different factors. Therefore, a European project is transforming urban water services and their management to provide utilities with new confidence to draw up and introduce innovative and sustainable solutions.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Climate change, pollution, demographic change and ageing infrastructure are all putting excessive strain on urban water supplies. Sustainable solutions to these challenges must take into account rising energy prices and the pressing need to reduce emissions, as well as consider long-term investment scenarios.
Developing innovative and sustainable solutions demands a detailed understanding of how the current water services operate and how their sustainability can be determined. Therefore, the EU-funded 'Transitions to the urban water services of tomorrow' (http://www.trust-i.net (TRUST)) project is studying how Europe's water utilities function.
Project partners' analysis of the urban water cycle has included the use of an innovative systems model, key performance indicators and risk assessment. They also considered stakeholder involvement and an analysis of public perception and forms of governance. Researchers are also assessing emerging technologies for supplying water, treating waste and dealing with storm water. Alternative water sources have been analysed in terms of their cost effectiveness, performance, safety and sustainability.
A master framework was created to support the development of TRUST products, which include a web-based self-assessment tool for measuring the sustainability of individual water utilities. Furthermore, the project released policy briefings focused on specific water management interventions. It also developed a methodology for integrating more sustainable solutions into the strategic planning (roadmapping).
The most promising tools, models and technologies are now being tested in the urban water systems of nine participating pilot cities in Europe. The potential benefits resulting from TRUST's work are now clear, with one participating city preparing to use a new water metering and tariff system. Another city hopes to implement an agricultural water reuse plan, while yet another will implement a more economic water quality network for new residential areas.
Following the project's conclusion, TRUST will provide participating cities with a clear roadmap towards more sustainable and effective urban water systems. It will also offer a supporting portfolio of demonstrated technology and management interventions and tools. A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC8a5FZA_Qo (TRUST video) is also available online.
