Shared knowledge of City Water Circles project: all about the circular urban water management
The final conference of the European City Water Circles project on sustainable, circular urban water management was held in Split, Croatia on 9th June.

The City Water Circles project aims to address the challenges of climate change in an urban context. What does this mean in practice?
Cities face more often extreme weather, long droughts, sudden downpours, flash floods, heat waves, increasing demand for drinking water and wastewater loads that threaten the security of water supply. It is urgency to act!

Meet water, meet people - The Torino pilot
Central European cities take the challenge on
The project has set out to build a knowledge base of circular urban water management to help the local stakeholders of the topic: municipalities, students, urban designers, public suppliers, and NGOs. The project outputs, like professional training materials, education materials for pupils, integrated urban water management strategies prepared with broad stakeholder involvement, policy proposals, and a City Water Circles Handbook containing comprehensive technical and intelligent management knowledge are available to all interested parties.
