“…They concluded that practitioners could use DPSIR for local-scale studies because it assesses the place-specific nuances of multiple concerned stakeholders more realistically. In Van Noordwijk et al (2020), DPSIR was used to understand the joint multiscale phenomena in the forest-water-people nexus and, thus, diagnosed issues to be addressed in local decision-making. Therefore, DPSIR was considered an appropriate framework for meeting the aim of the research.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Developments such as climate change and growing demand for drinking water threaten the sustainability of drinking water supply worldwide. To deal with this threat, adaptation of drinking water supply systems is imperative, not only on a global and national scale, but particularly on a local scale. This investigation sought to establish characteristics that describe the sustainability of local drinking water supply. We use an integrated systems approach, describing the local drinking water supply system in terms of hydrological, technical and socio-economic characteristics that determine the sustainability of a local drinking water supply system. Three cases on drinking water supply in the Netherlands are analysed. One case relates to a short-term development, that is the 2018 summer drought, and two concern long-term phenomena, that is, changes in water quality and growth in drinking water demand. The approach taken recognises that next to extreme weather events, socio-economic developments will be among the main drivers of changes in drinking water supply. Effects of pressures associated with, for example, population growth, industrial developments and land use changes, could result in limited water resource availability, deteriorated groundwater quality and growing water demand. To gain a perspective on the case study findings broader than the Dutch context, the sustainability issues identified were paired with global issues concerning sustainable drinking water supply. This resulted in a proposed set of generally applicable sustainability characteristics, each divided into five criteria describing the hydrological, technical and socio-economic sustainability of a local drinking water supply system. Elaboration of these sustainability characteristics and criteria into a sustainability assessment can provide information on the challenges and trade-offs inherent in the sustainable development and management of a local drinking water supply system.</p>

Twenty-five years after finishing my initial studies at Wageningen University, I decided to find out whether I could take my years of experience in drinking water practice at Vitens to a higher, scientific level, by starting PhD research. Vitens agreed to support me in this effort, allowing me to work on my research during office hours and giving me carte blanche in my studies on the topic of sustainable drinking water supply. At the same time, I contacted former colleagues at Wageningen University for an exploratory meeting. The positive responses of both led to the signing of a cooperation agreement in December 2015, and I would like to thank Vitens and Wageningen University for providing me this opportunity. I also thank family, friends and colleagues for their encouragement and support during my PhD trajectory. Combining my day-today work at Vitens with PhD research was demanding. Keeping the research going required all of my project management skills, as the daily work for sustainable development of "my" Veluwe drinking water abstractions, with their multiple stakeholder interests, definitely kept me busy. My transition from stakeholder manager to asset manager in 2019 brought new challenges, but it also enabled me to set aside extra time for my research and to finish this thesis. This thesis builds on my work experience. My employment at Vitens has provided me in-depth knowledge of current practice in drinking water supply in the Netherlands. Through my job, I have been professionally involved in internal and external discussions and meetings on a large variety of drinking water supply subjects. Nevertheless, bridging the gap between practical knowledge and theoretical science was a challenge. I had to learn to provide a solid scientific foundation for the things I knew from practice. That challenge was a source of personal growth for me, as I am a pragmatic and solution-oriented person by nature, rather than a visionary and theoretical one. Now that this thesis is finished I hope it will be of both scientific and practical value in dealing with the challenges on the road to sustainable drinking water supply.
