Next generation decentralized water systems: a water-energy-infrastructure-human nexus (WEIHN) approach

“…12,13 In response to these challenges of CWS, decentralized water systems (DWS) have begun to emerge as a promising alternative, which offers cost-effective, environmentally sustainable solutions tailored to local water needs and demands. 14 Despite facing historical impediments, such as a lack of technological advancements, financial constraints, and inadequate policy support, [14][15][16] DWS implementation has become increasingly feasible due to advancements in water treatment, recycling, and monitoring technologies, 17 robust policy support, 18 and a heightened awareness of community participation. 19 However, a comprehensive and integrative analysis of the economic, social, and environmental impacts should be considered before the implementation of DWS in a WEIHN.…”
