Sustainability of the planet's water resources should
always be a consideration when a water supply plan is
developed. Demand for water is increasing and new
supplies are becoming scarce creating an increasingly
urgent need to view water in an integrated, holistic
manner. From this perspective, wastewater issues also
become water supply issues.
In this article the authors present results of their
study, undertaken to raise awareness of sustainability
issues and their applicability to water suppliers.
The article discusses how water utilities should
lead efforts to address sustainability issues and
emphasizes that water suppliers must take an active
role in managing water resources. Additionally, the
authors discuss why water suppliers must increase
their awareness of the scientific as well as practical
issues associated with their water supply
operations. Includes 19 references.
