1 Sustainable Urban Water Futures Making decisions about supply and demand
2 Making decisions about supply and demand The global water sector is at a cross roads. Population growth and rising water demand due to increased affluence, the impact of climate change, growing community expectations and the rising cost of new capacity all impact on the sector. Management of our urban water resources requires innovative thinking to move us toward a vision of a more sustainable system that is resilient to the challenges of an uncertain future. New decision support systems, frameworks and tools are needed to manage these issues at the national, city and building scale. New frameworks for supply demand planning can help reduce costs. Part of the challenge of this new environment involves finding the right balance between supply options and demand side options, between new sources, water efficiency and water recycling, between building new capital works and managing existing assets. Engaging customers and the community as in parallel with the technical and economic analysis is a key part of the picture. The water industry is a rapidly changing field, new technologies, new economic and regulatory approaches and new engagement methods are available, and deploying them appropriately can reduce costs and improve social and environmental outcomes. 2
3 About us The Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) is a research and consulting organisation at the University of Technology, Sydney. We work with industry, government and the community to help create sustainable futures through research, consultancy and training. Our established reputation across Australia and internationally is for innovative, solution focused interdisciplinary consultancy projects. The key to our approach is integration and alignment across strategic, tactical and operational activities. We work in a number of different research areas. This capability statement outlines our expertise in the field of sustainable water futures. Capability statements for other areas we work in are available from our web site ( Our sustainable water work To progress this vision we work collaboratively with government, utilities, industry, developers, non-government organisations and the community to re define the frontiers of best practice. Our research spans all phases of the project life cycle from visioning and strategic policy, to on-the-ground development of options and pilot programs, to project monitoring and evaluation. The Institute is at the forefront of thinking in water and sanitation futures where resources are used efficiently, valued fully and managed responsibly.

5 Benefits of working with ISF Track record: We have been conducting project based research for Australian and international clients for a decade and have an excellent reputation for innovative, solution-focused work. Applying current thinking and practice: Our researchers are not only up to date with best practice and current thinking - they contribute to it. Their research is published regularly in academic journals as well as industry and scientific publications and the popular media. Practical and diverse experience: Our researchers come from varied backgrounds, including: engineering architecture, management, economics, science, social sciences, international studies and political studies. Most have worked in both government and commercial environments, so know how to deliver independent and feasible solutions to suit the needs of a diverse range of clients. We are small enough to offer our clients personalised service and large enough to offer a diversity of research skills. Collaborative approach: We seek to create change towards a sustainable future by building capacity in organisations and individuals, and in the broader community. This means that we actively aim to pass on our knowledge and skills to our clients through close collaboration. The integrated Supply Demand Planning Model can support forecasting and options analysis. 5
6 Recent successes The Institute has undertaken research projects for utilities, regulators and other stakeholders across Australia and internationally. Some of our recent project highlights are listed here. Details of other projects can be found on our web site. The International Demand Management Framework International Water Association, London, UK The ISF worked with the International Water Association Specialist group on Efficient Operations and Management to develop the International Demand Management Framework, which aims to support utilities and regulatory agencies to undertake supply demand planning in a least cost way and to systematically plan for managing drought and reducing costs. Benchmarking Demand Management Canal Isabel II, Madrid, Spain The ISF water research team were commissioned to undertake a review and benchmarking of the planning, analysis and implementation of demand management by the Madrid water company, canal Isabel II, as a means of testing the International Demand Management Framework that it developed for the International Water Association. Sanitation Options Study Australian Agency for International Development, Can Tho, Vietnam The Institute was recognised with an International Water Association Project Innovation Award (Development) for this research into sanitation infrastructure. Funded by an AusAID research grant, the Institute worked with Can Tho University and Can Tho Water Supply and Sewerage Company to investigate sanitation options for Can Tho city in Vietnam. The two year study looked at wastewater infrastructure challenges and options for four wards of the Cái Ráng District. Based on findings, the Institute prepared a policy briefing paper for the AusAID Infrastructure and Water Policy Section detailing relevance of the work for aid policy and programming. The study has been well-received and the Asian Development Bank in Vietnam is drawing on the study in development of their $1 billion urban sanitation program. Integrated Supply Demand Study Centre for Development and Environment in the Arab Region and EU SWITCH, Alexandria, Egypt Institute research revealed the need for new institutional frameworks to maintain water supply-demand balance in Alexandria, Egypt. Water availability in Egypt is highly constrained, because of its dependence on a fixed national share of the Nile River basin and population growth. This study has been assessing urban water demand in Alexandria and options to maintain the supply-demand balance. Integrated Resource Planning for Urban Water National Water Commission, Canberra, Australia This project builds on the ISF work for the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) including a framework and guide to aid water planners assess the water supply-demand balance for their region and determine how best to fill the gap. The resources developed include new resource papers, a model, training materials and case studies. For further information visit Costing for Sustainable Outcomes in Urban Water Systems: A Guidebook Cooperative Research Cenre for Water Quality and Treatment, Australia ISF developed a guidebook to assist decision-makers to use the best principles and tools to assess the most cost-effective means to achieve sustainable urban water outcomes. Showerhead Exchange Program Evaluation - South East Water, Melbourne, Australia This project involved statistical evaluation of the water savings arising from the showerhead exchange demand management program run by the three Melbourne water retailers. It involved using ISF s specialised pair matching analysis as well as development and testing of a regression technique that could be used by the broader water industry to establish savings of similar programs. Alice Springs Water Efficiency Program, Alice Springs, Australia ISF assisted the NT government in 2003 by researching a suite of water efficiency options that could potentially be taken forward for implementation as part of a water efficiency program. At the beginning of 2005 ISF extended this work by assisting in the development of a Cabinet Submission to determine and recommend next steps for the water efficiency program. This assistance led to ISF conducting ASWES Stage III - Feasibility into the Implementation of a Water Efficiency Program in 2005/06 which has broaden the options developed, considered pricing issues and drafted an action plan for next steps. Frasers Broadway Water Cycle Strategy Frasers Property, Sydney Australia ISF researchers prepared conceptual designs and modelled integrated water cycle options for the 6 hectare Frasers Broadway mixed use precinct development in Sydney, using detailed end use supplydemand modelling. Water savings, cost effectiveness and impacts of options for demand management and source substitution were examined. 6
7 Water-Energy Nexus Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organisation, Australia Collaborative research with CSIRO (Australia s national science agency) examining the energy implications of emerging water infrastructure. This involved the first systematic smart metering of a number of households to investigate the actual water and energy usage of various rainwater system configurations. The findings will inform future water and energy policy. Cost-effectiveness analysis of WELS Australian Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts, Canberra, Australia The project compared the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme to other urban water management options by modelling and valuing impacts including water savings, energy and greenhouse impacts, administration costs and compliance costs. Water resources and groundwater planning, Salalah, Sultanate of Oman Collaborated with GEO-Resources Consultancy (GRC) in Oman to analyse the water supply-demand balance in this water scarce region, and recommended future strategies to improve efficiency and the sustainability of groundwater resources. Decentralized Wastewater System Reliability Analysis Handbook - US EPA, Washington, DC, United States Collaborated with Stone Environmental Inc. and the Rocky Mountains Institute in the USA to develop a handbook for managers of decentralised wastewater systems. This was the first attempt to develop the tools needed to manage decentralized systems as viable longterm alternatives to centralised systems. Review of Metropolitan Water Plan NSW Government, Sydney Australia This project included a review of the Metropolitan Water Plan, with ACIL Tasman, and the development of a future planning strategy that provided water security during extreme drought and reduced cost in the longer term by using risk-based costs and adaptive management, including real options analysis. Review of water restrictions - National Water Commission, Australia This project involved a comprehensive review of the effectiveness and impacts of water use restrictions across metropolitan Australian locations. The project assisted National Water Initiative (NWI) parties to meet their commitments with regards to water restrictions for the duration of the drought. Ranking options by unit cost can help prioritise investment. 7
