Best practices and lessons learnt
From the case studies of Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Denver, Hamburg, London, Singapore, Toronto and Vancouver transitioning towards urban water security through the use of demand management tools, a series of best practices and lessons learnt have been identified for other cities around the world attempting to achieve urban water security. This chapter discusses how water managers need to consider a range of demand management instruments classified under their respective diffusion mechanisms to achieve further urban water security. In order to encourage water conservation, the wise use of water or reductions in the cost of providing water and wastewater services, utilities should increase their use of subsidies and rebates in promoting water efficiency in homes and businesses. Utilities can develop, with their respective local government, water labelling schemes for water‐efficient devices and household appliances as a way to conserve water/use it wisely or reduce energy costs from providing water and wastewater services.
