Managing water in local small-scale cycles is one possible solution. A new white paper by Eawag, the University of California, Berkeley, and BlueTech Research shows how this can be achieved with innovative approaches. Three roadmaps describe solutions that work at the level of single buildings, urban neighbourhoods as well as cities combined with local agriculture. Six global cities are already implementing these approaches and can serve as lighthouse models for other cities interested in integrating innovative water solutions.
