“Water security” is an enduring issue which has been a major concern in the world and to this day remains a critical matter in society.

This paper (805,77KB) emphasizes that the provision of environmentally sound systems in an integrated way, taking into account the whole water cycle of water supply, wastewater, solid waste collection, treatment and reuse, is the best way forward to addressing this critical challenge.

This policy brief makes the case for an integrated approach that encompasses the whole water cycle– municipal and industrial wastewater and storm drainage. It outlines the economic, policy and institutional aspects and provides guidance on policies and institutions needed to support water reuse. Policy briefs provide policy makers with information on water resources management. They are written by the GWP Technical Committee, a group of internationally recognised professionals in integrated water resources management.
