RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER... Day after day, day after day, We
stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a
painted ocean. Water, water, every where, And all the boards did
shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink...
Introduction... Sustainable Water Management Samuel Tayler
Coleridge (1797), English poet

SUSTAINABILITY (definition) Bruntland popularised the term
sustainability for human and environmental development (Bruntland
Report, 1987) Activities where the needs of the present generation
are met without compromising the needs of future generations
Equitable distribution of the resources not only spatially between
users in a given location, but temporally between users over time
Wonderful idea! But realistic? Inherent problem: Introduction of
conceptional ideas into mainstream society to gain overall
acceptance How can we succeed? To make changes in the way we all
think about the resources we depend on Basic needs: Definition and
determination of what we really need and how it can be adopted to
sustainable practice in our daily lives. Introduction Sustainable
Water Management
Slide 6
But how to manage a resource? Information / Activities: needs
of the stakeholders; possibilities and limitations of the resource;
sharing both indigenous and modern scientific knowledge;
establishing a dialogue between individuals and large institutions
(societal / political aspects) MANAGEMENT In general, three
categories: managing the resource, managing water services, and
managing the trade-offs needed to balance supply and demand.
Sustainable Water Management (SWM) does not only include technical
issues (infrastructure; physical installations) but also policies,
prices, other incentives, environment, transboundary and
socio-economic aspects. SWM: deals with water in a holistic fashion
is a multi-criteria problem Introduction Sustainable Water

Slide 8
Water pollution, environmental degradation and disasters every
day, 2 million tons of human waste are disposed of in water courses
in developing countries, 70 percent of industrial wastes are dumped
into waters where they pollute the usable water supply since 1900
we've lost half of the world's wetlands between 1991 and 2000 over
665,000 people died in 2,557 natural disasters of which 90 percent
were water-related events. Water footprints 13 litres of water of a
tomato 25 litres of water for a potato 35 litres of water of a cup
of tea 70 litres of water for an apple 75 litres of water for a
glass of beer 120 litres of water for a glass of wine 140 litres of
water for a cup of coffee 170 litres of water of a glass of orange
juice 184 litres of water for a bag of potato crisps 200 litres of
water for a glass of milk 2400 litres of water for a hamburger
16000 litres of water is needed to produce one kilogram of beef

The problem 1.2 billion people have no access to drinking
water, and three billion have neither sanitary nor wastewater
disposal facilities. Increasing population in areas where
water-related problems are hardly solvable. The goal Developing
concepts for sustainable water management. The competence Network
of 29 full member institutions in 15 countries on 4 continents. The
core research fields are Sanitary Engineering, Hydraulic
Engineering, Water Quality Research, Water Governance, Waste
Management / Wastewater The Project

The final outcome and sustainable impact Concepts for
sustainable water management in developing countries Tight-meshed
network consisting of full and associate members Closely
cooperating expert groups Provision of a portfolio of competences
for sustainable research cooperation and development of
practice-oriented applications Concept of a biannual Symposium on
Sustainable Water Management with special focus on transfer of
theoretical (academic) knowledge into practical solutions
Organisational and financial sustainability of the network
(self-reliance of the network after project completion). Final
