Urban Water Cycle

The urban water cycle (UWC) is often managed by several stakeholders dealing with specific components of the cycle such as water supply, wastewater systems and water bodies management. Therefore, risk management in the UWC benefits from an integrated approach to incorporate the interdependencies between elements. The water cycle safety plan (WCSP) provides a common risk management framework for stakeholders in the UWC. It is based on the water safety plan (WSP) approach for water supply and incorporates the latest developments in risk management approaches, such as ISO 31 000:2009 and ISO Guide 73:2009. Apart from protection of public health, the WCSP also addresses public safety and protection of the environment. The proposed WCSP is divided into nine steps including stakeholders’ commitment and team assembling, establishment of scope of the plan, characterisation of water systems, identification of risks, risk analysis and evaluation, selection of risk reduction measures, development of protocols for communication, monitoring and review. The WCSP approach was developed in the PREPARED project with a focus on UWC adaptation to climate change but can be applied in a broader context. This preventive and systematic risk approach supports decisions on adaptive measures and strategies for the whole UWC based on the best available knowledge.

Systematic Collection

The Water Safety Plan (WSP) aims to ensure safe drinking water through risk assessment and preventive risk management which cover all steps of the water supply from catchment to the consumer. This approach requires a comprehensive hazard assessment including the identification and prioritisation of potential hazardous events. The Failure Experience Improvement System (FEIS) supports this key step in developing a WSP. The FEIS can assist water utilities in identifying the causes and effects of hazardous events, determining priorities for risk management and locating vulnerable points in their water supply system. This is achieved through the systematic collection of failure causes and their effects in a database and an analysis of the resulting failure network using Social Network Analysis (SNA). The FEIS provides both graphical visualisation of failure propagation and analytical indicators to evaluate hazardous events. This paper demonstrates the use of the FEIS to support the WSP approach.
