Performance of water utilities beyond compliance : Sharing knowledge bases to support environmental and resource-efficiency policies and technical improvements

The data used in the report represents the water using habits of approximately 50 million people. This report follows on from the discussions in the expert meeting on how the organisations and networks involved in urban water management can share their knowledge bases to support environmental and resource efficiency policies, and technical improvements. The availability of this knowledge base could create a more comprehensive approach to assessing Europe's water resources and threats. It could also enable a comparison of the environmental performance of different water utilities, monitor progress over time, and aid the implementation of novel environmental technologies.
