   Sammanfattning : The environmental issues of storm water in the urban environment is addressed in political policies on many different governance levels. The concept of “sustainable storm water” in Europe uses the natural water cycle as a template for urban drainage, and the EU has a water framework directive (WFD) with a systems approach, using drainage basins as the starting point of all actions.

   Författare :Claudius Mpofu; [2018]
   Nyckelord :resilience; drinking water; sanitation and hygiene WASH ; decentralized systems; small-scale; WASH planning;

   Sammanfattning : Climate change and increased pressure on water resources through urban and peri-urban population growth present some major uncertainties to the sustainable provision of good quality water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, particularly to small-scale decentralized systems which are considered more vulnerable compared to centralized systems. The concept of “resilience” could be useful when dealing with such uncertainties. LÄS MER
