Resilience of the potable water industry

Development of an industry-specific primer focused on potable water infrastructure to help key players understand what they can do differently to improve resilience in this industry.

This  industry-specific primer identifies the current best practices by leading organisations that embed resilience into their decision-making,
the incentives that are currently available for driving resilience but are not capitalised upon due to lack of awareness of their existence, and
the future directions for how to scale and augment the current menu of incentives.

Recommendations for building resilience in the water sector

The primer presents 17 recommendations to give resilience adoption a boost. These suggestions were inspired by 19 interviews with water sector operators and stakeholders and consideration of policy frameworks, advocacy bodies and academic reports.

Below, Tracy Hatton, is interviewed by the Resilience Shift about the importance of water resilience.
