Abstract

This book, published by the United Nations Development Programme Regional Bureau for Arab States, addresses the critical issue of water governance in the Arab region. It highlights the severe water scarcity affecting the region, which is predominantly desert, and emphasizes the urgent need for effective governance to manage and secure water resources. The report outlines the challenges posed by climate change, demographic growth, and economic pressures, which exacerbate water scarcity. It advocates for integrated water governance approaches that link water management with health, education, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection. The report aims to engage various stakeholders, including governments, civil society, and the private sector, to foster sustainable development and resilience against potential crises. It serves as a strategic tool for UNDP's ongoing efforts in the Arab region to promote effective governance systems and sustainable development.

Abstract

This dissertation by Angelica Andersson explores long-distance travel demand modeling by integrating mobile phone data with traditional survey data. The research addresses the limitations of declining response rates in travel surveys by utilizing passively collected mobile network data, despite its lack of specific trip details. The study develops and evaluates models combining both data sources, highlighting the advantages of using Multinomial Logit and Artificial Neural Networks for mode choice modeling. The work aims to enhance transport policy decision-making by improving the accuracy of travel demand forecasts, offering insights into effective data integration techniques. The intended audience includes researchers and professionals in transportation planning and data analysis.

Abstract

Today about 676 million urban residents, many of them poor, do not have access to the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) definition of "safely managed" water supplies. They receive an off-grid water supply service that is not safely managed, accessible, or affordable, and thus not compliant with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1. If the rate of providing piped supplies over the last 15 years continues for another 15 years, and the urban population increases as projected by 1.2 billion, then the current 676 million will be joined by a further 300 million by 2030. Therefore, by 2030, nearly 1 billion individuals, primarily in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, will be forced to rely on off-grid supplies that are not safely managed. These troubling numbers exclude the significant population classified as rural but live on the periphery of urban areas and have urban characteristics and aspirations. Not only are off-grid customers increasing but they are also concentrated in the poorer segments of society. An analysis of 75 low-income countries (LICs) in Asia, Africa, and Latin America shows that more than 68 percent of these customers come from the bottom two wealth quintiles (the poor and the poorest). Within these regions, many countries (24 of these 75 countries) have more than 80 percent such off-grid users from poor and poorest categories. The sector's single-minded focus on piped service delivery is insufficient to meet the challenges of providing safe water supplies due to endemic governance, efficiency, and financing challenges. These problems, coupled with policy, land tenure, and related issues in the broader urban environment, all conspire to leave poor households without access to piped water supplies-a problem that will continue. A laissez-faire attitude prevails in the sector, leaving off-grid customer to fend for themselves. Traditional (piped) solutions alone will not achieve SDG 6.1 by 2030 in providing safely managed water that is accessible at the household level and is affordable to customers. It is critical to re-examine the traditional focus on adding piped connections. Policy makers and others in the sector should explore how off-grid solutions could be "reimagined" as a complementary solution.

Abstract

The overall objective of this Special Issue is to improve knowledge on developing and using advanced simulation tools in water supply and distribution systems. The final aim is to propose a suitable framework supporting insightful hydraulic mechanisms to help the decision-making processes of water utility managers and practitioners. Contributions to this Special Issue, exploring new research avenues on urban hydraulics and hydroinformatics, will be of great value for both Academia and those water utility stakeholders. On top of this, important social benefits are expected from a number of research objectives that ultimately aim to guarantee a regular supply of clean water at the pressure and quality required at the network consumption points. These objectives include a wide spectrum of subjects, such as demand monitoring and forecasting; network sectorisation; innovative tools for water resources management; leakage detection; system maintenance; transient control; and consumer satisfaction assessment, among others.
