To achieve urban water security, water utilities will need to transition towards the sustainable use of water that balances demand with supply. This chapter defines what a transition is, what types of transitions there are, how they occur over multiple dimensions and the various drivers and forces of transitions and discusses how transitions can be managed. There are four types of transitions: endogenous renewals, reorientation of trajectories, emergent transformations and purposeful transformations that are deliberately intended and pursued from the outset to reflect explicit social expectations or interests. There are two types of diffusion mechanisms that can induce social change: direct and indirect. To ensure transitions have a better probability of succeeding, transitions can be combined into a management strategy that seeks fundamental changes in the behaviour, cultures, structures and practices of a society. The transition management cycle provides a blueprint of how institutions can plan, implement, monitor and evaluate transitions.
