Abstract
Sustainability of the urban water system using renewable energy resources
Highlights
Water is a key element of life on our planet
A more sustainable approach to water management involves integrated management of the different elements of the urban water cycle, and the coordination of actions with other urban management sectors, which can help identify synergies and address conflicts. It has been registered in the literature that on average about 7% of global electricity production is accounted for urban water systems, while 3% of global electricity consumption is accounted for water pumping in the water supply system [16]
Regarding the Vrgorac water supply system, the analysis showed a consumption of 1.81 million kWh during 2017
Summary
Water is a key element of life on our planet. Without clean and drinkable water, all ecosystems on earth are disrupted, which has a direct impact on human health and quality of life. Water is an important input parameter for the economic development of settlements and society as a whole. Water reserves are disappearing every day, and climate change and environmental pollution are further aggravating and accelerating this process. This problem is especially evident in cities, which consume huge amounts of water and have a drastic effect of reducing and polluting water resources. Urban water system management is an important segment of any city's development. The socio-economic condition of the urban environment, its sustainability and productivity depend on the state and level of development of the urban water system. The problem is the lack of guidelines for decision-makers at the local level who wish to proactively prepare and adapt to climate change
