ABSTRACT Only a very small fraction of the potable water produced by urban centres is used for a need requiring the highest-quality water. Urban water infrastructure has evolved over the past century without considering whether past practices make sense for a future with stressed ecosystems and a changing climate. Smart water techniques are vital to optimize existing infrastructure. However, for urban water servicing of the future, guiding principles developed through consultation, a long-term vision, and tailor-made plans for local conditions are needed. A coordinated research agenda to address many common challenges could support implementation of the plans and the vision.

SWM 和城市水：荒谬系统的智能管理？

摘要 城市中心生产的饮用水中只有一小部分用于需要最高质量的水。城市供水基础设施在过去的一个世纪里不断发展，却没有考虑过去的做法对于生态系统紧张和气候变化的未来是否有意义。智能供水技术对于优化现有基础设施至关重要。然而，对于未来的城市供水服务，需要通过协商制定的指导原则、长期愿景和因地制宜的计划。解决许多共同挑战的协调研究议程可以支持计划和愿景的实施。
