6. 4. Efficient Management of Water Utilities : Sustainability Analysis of Swedish Performance

   Author : Nasik Najar; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainability index; reinvestment; facilities status; climate adaptation and flood security; ; water utility in Sweden;

   Abstract : In Sweden, a sustainability index (SI) has been used since 2014 as an internal benchmark management tool to analyse and steer municipal water and wastewater (WW) activities toward sustainability. A consistent trend in national results from SI across all years is that while day-to-day operations are working well, there are deficiencies in strategies for long-term planning. READ MORE

7. 5. Water management and performance on local and global scales : A comparison between two regions and their possibilities of knowledge transfer
