Abstract: Amid a perfect storm of climate emergency, runaway urban growth and crumbling pipes, it�s clear that our traditional engineering-based, technical approach to water infrastructure planning requires improvements. It is time to replace the outdated approach driven by unreliable long-term forecasts and adopt a smarter, adaptive framework that includes socio-economic considerations to build sustainable cities our communities deserve.
