Cover Story: Historically, water utilities have relied on tried-and-true practices in the design and operation of their infrastructure. However, as the effects of climate change and urbanization increasingly impact both water supply and demand, utilities need new planning and management approaches. Based on this notion, a three-month web seminar with faculty, researchers, and students from nine universities was conducted. Combining their unique perspectives, they produced a compendium of sustainable water management options, considering policy changes and technological progress, as well as site-specific conditions. In addition to this compendium, the seminar produced valuable insights into group dynamics and cross-cultural communication, facilitating international collaboration and guiding future training programs for researchers, professional engineers, or water utilities.
