Leveraging Decision-Support Systems to Increase Urban Water Security

Water security is increasingly central to the work of water suppliers because of climate change, population growth, and aging infrastructure.

Prioritizing water security requires a proactive and holistic approach to avoid the worst outcomes of a water supply crisis.
