Aprašymas

Water utilities are under pressure from climate change, water scarcity, and ecosystem degradation. Nature-Positive Water Utilities shows how to integrate sustainable water management, climate resilience, and environmental governance into utility operations. This practical guide addresses how utilities can improve water security and support ecosystem restoration using scalable, cost-effective strategies.

• Embed climate resilience and sustainable water management into utility governance and operations
• Align with environmental governance frameworks to support biodiversity, reforestation, and long-term water planning
• Design and implement green infrastructure and urban greening strategies that reduce flood risk and improve water quality
• Use ecosystem restoration and nature-based solutions to increase service reliability and reduce operational costs
• Access public and multilateral climate finance to support infrastructure that delivers measurable environmental outcomes
• Apply cost-benefit analysis methods that include ecosystem services, avoided costs, and resilience metrics
• Structure tariff models that incentivize water conservation while funding ecological improvements
• Adopt digital tools for ecosystem monitoring including remote sensing, IoT sensors, and geospatial mapping platforms
