AQUA: Water Infrastructure, Ecosystems, and Society Special Issue on:
Intermittent Water Supply: Challenges, Opportunities and Solutions
Intermittent Water Supply is common in the majority of countries in South Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. There are different factors that cause intermittency in water systems such as natural, technical and financial scarcity as well as user behaviour and institutional aspects. Intermittent access to water can have consequences on public health and social equity. Intermittent Water Supply systems are considered as failing systems that in long-term are not sustainable. A lot of work has been done by researchers and practitioners to better understand these systems, to improve their operation and management, and eventually their conversion to continuous water supply systems.
This Special Issue presents a collection of high-quality, peer-reviewed technical papers that address the challenges, opportunities, and solutions of IWS systems. Authors contribute to highlighting the importance of these topics and providing innovative solutions to the challenges facing IWS systems. Overall, this Special Issue is an important contribution to the ongoing efforts to address the challenges of IWS systems, and the papers within it provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners.
