Abstract
Visions for a sustainable water future AQUA carries a long tradition: the first issue was published in 1951.Today, 70 years later, we relaunch AQUA: Water Infrastructure, Ecosystems and Society with a renewed focus.Water plays a key role in the transition to a sustainable world.To mark the transition, we have invited thought-leaders in the water supply base to share their visions for a sustainable future in water.The challenge has been open-ended: 'If you carry in you a vision for such a future and can point at some of the elements we need to put in place for this to succeed, we invite you to submit a visionary paper.'This has resulted in an issue full of visions, hope and ideas.The world is facing a tremendous challenge moving into the Age of Sustainability.This has implications for all aspects of water, society and life.AQUA: Water Infrastructure, Ecosystems and Society publishes peer-reviewed scientific and technical papers suggesting new solutions to providing sustainable water supply.The journal covers research and development in both water technology and management.New opportunities are explored in the area of water supply such as reclaimed water supply, grey water supply, rainwater harvesting, etc.The journal aims to support water utilities and municipalities transition seamlessly from today to the sustainable water supply of the future.The transition includes exchanging old systems intelligently based on systematic asset management, preparing the new system for the…
