dc.description.abstract | This study presents a comprehensive review of the literature on implementation of
various decentralized water systems along with centralized systems. The review
highlights the benefits provided by these systems as well as various challenges
posed associated with them. There are complex interactions involved within the
water systems in an urban setting that are multidimensional and span over various
aspects of water availability, quality, energy use, environmental, legal, economic,
and social sectors. Although there are many economic, environmental, and social
benefits associated with decentralized systems, there are some hidden challenges
that are generally overlooked by planners and managers; these include the spatial
integration of such systems, their energy intensity, social, economic, and environmental
viability of these systems. Decisions to implement decentralized water
systems require decision makers to consider economic, social, and environmental
dimensions conjointly through an appropriate multicriteria decision analysis to
select the hybrid water supply combination optimal for the given circumstances.
The existing studies and tools are unable to address these factors using an integrated
approach. So a holistic framework to evaluate and compare various water
supply options in terms of energy use, social, economic, and environmental impacts
is required to assess such systems in comprehensive manner. | en_US |
