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.
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.
Project overview
This practical, 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 capitalized upon due to lack of awareness of their existence, and
- the future directions for how to scale and augment the current menu of incentives.
