About this book
This book presents new research on policy innovations that promote the development of the circular water economy. In contrast to the linear economy, the circular water economy promotes the reduction of water consumption, reuse of water, and recovery of resources from wastewater to not only increase resilience to climate change but also to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the provision of water and wastewater-related services. Providing a series of in-depth case studies of important locations in differing climates around the globe that have implemented a variety of policy innovations to develop the circular water economy, this book is a valuable resource for water and resource conservation managers, policymakers, international companies and organisations interested in the circular economy, environmental NGOs, researchers, as well as graduate and undergraduate students.
· Systematically reviews policy innovations to develop the circularwater economy
· Illustrates how leading locations from around the world have developed the circular water economy to increase resilience to climate change while reducing emissions
· Provides ‘best practices’ for other locations around the world aiming to implement the circular water economy
