Amsterdam transitioning towards urban water security
Amsterdam's transition towards urban water security prioritises the development of an efficient mains system with low leakage, efficient supply of high‐quality water at a low price and the recovery of raw material and energy from water and waste. This chapter presents an overview of a case study that analyses how Amsterdam's water utility uses a portfolio of demand management tools to modify the attitudes and behaviour of water users to achieve urban water security. Waternet is the only water company in the Netherlands that is dedicated to the entire cycle, from providing drinking water to collecting and treating storm and wastewater. The ‘Amsterdam Definitely Sustainable 2011‐2014’ plan outlines a comprehensive programme for achieving sustainability based on four pillars: climate and energy, mobility and air quality, sustainable innovative economy and materials and consumers. Waternet uses a portfolio of demand management tools to achieve urban water security.
