Hamburg transitioning towards urban water security
Hamburg's transition towards urban water security focuses on improving the sustainable management of water by reducing water consumption and treatment costs of wastewater as well as improving the utilisation of nutrients from waste for energy production. This chapter presents an overview of a case study that analyses how Hamburg's water utility uses a portfolio of demand management tools to modify the attitudes and behaviour of water users to achieve urban water security. Hamburg Wasser comprises the Hamburg Waterworks Limited (HWW) and Hamburg Public Sewage Company (HSE). Hamburg Wasser has developed the Hamburg Water Cycle (HWC) concept with the objective of improving the sustainability of water management in the future. The drivers of Hamburg Wasser's strategic vision for achieving urban water security include reducing the volume of imported water, climate change, population growth and rising energy costs. Hamburg Wasser has universal metering; every private home and apartment building has a water meter.
