Circular Water Management 2: Closing the H20 loop

Course Overview

Author: Dr. Hernan Ruiz Ocampo
Climate change dramatically impacts urban areas, exposing cities on floodplains to extreme cloudbursts, and rising sea levels also threaten coastal cities. 

The course attempts to provide knowledge for proper water management in urban areas by applying the circular economy principles related to the regeneration of natural resources using a holistic approach based on Integrated Water Management for urban areas to create a collaborative ecosystem.

The course also provides information about various alternative water sources for supply in urban areas. Different examples show the possibility of implementing various strategies to prolong water use, such as reusing wastewater and rainwater to conserve water in basins and receiving bodies and the growth of desalination process applications to secure water supply while preserving the environment. 

This approach explores the role of digital technologies and circular business models and strategies as enablers of the circular economy in the water sector. Implementing digital technologies for water and wastewater treatment is becoming necessary to face the increasing risks related to demand growth, water scarcity, quality, security, and cost-effective water-related services.

There are many opportunities to create value from water streams, and implementing circular business models creates an ecosystem where water becomes a source of nutrients, minerals, and metals. Applying appropriate circular design strategies can allow the development of circular business models to create value from water to slow, close, narrow, and regenerate resources present in water streams.

What are the Learning Outcomes?

The course aims to support Circular Economy principles in water management to ensure sustainable water supply and wastewater treatment in cities. A more balanced environment between demand and supply supported by digital technologies can enable circularity in water utilities to become more resilient and innovative to preserve water resources while reducing costs. Circular water solutions will create a competitive offer of products and services for different sectors contributing to material flows and providing a reliable water source to ensure the supply for the next generations.

What You Will Learn

Challenges to water management
By 2050, urban areas will host 70% of the global population, pushing industrial and domestic water to grow faster than agricultural demand. 

Discover the challenges of water management in the transition to the Circular Economy.

Regenerating natural basin systems

Discover how circular strategies can close the loop at the macro level and develop more climate-resilient cities. Explore the role of sanitation, sewerage, and clean water supply in building liveable cities.

How can governance enable the Circular Economy transition?

Governance plays a crucial role in the circular transition. Learn how the OECD framework for water governance supports adaptative measures to specific conditions based on diverse legal, administrative, and organizational systems and tools from different countries.

Ensuring water security

Water security is a growing concern due to increased conflict surrounding water accessibility. Explore the main issues related to limits, usages, and rights over water resources and how misunderstandings and disagreement become a source of conflict.

Water infrastructure

Learn how Integrated Urban Water Management drives the implementation of modular blue-green infrastructures and helps urban communities become more resilient to climate change.

How can digital technologies enable the Circular Economy in the water sector?
Explore the digital technologies that offer unlimited potential to transform the world’s water systems–helping utilities become more resilient, innovative, and efficient.
Citizen engagement in the water sector

Consumer requirements and behaviour have always played an important role in service delivery. Citizen participation is essential for the transition. 

Learn how to foster interdependent relationships between water utilities and consumers.

The value of water

Learn how to implement circular services and products through circular strategies. Explore how water strategies can help minimize socioeconomic and societal impacts in the circular economy transition.
