Integrated Water Resilience Planning
To protect against water insecurity, the world’s most water-stressed cities and states turn to Castalia.
Integrated Water Resilience Planning (IWRP) is a holistic approach to ensuring a resilient water supply for those in current or potential water crises. It results in a financeable, climate-resilient plan that meets long-term water needs. IWRP is about finding solutions for demand-side management, identifying new water sources, improving the use of conventional water sources and implementing network efficiency measures. It builds consensus through effective stakeholder engagement and develops blended finance mechanisms to turn investment plans into reality.
