Sustainable Water Management in the City of the Future ( Integrated Project)

SWITCH involved innovation in the area of sustainable urban water management often also referred to as integrated urban water management (IUWM). This project looked towards water management in the 'city of the future' aimed to challenge existing paradigms and to find and promote more sustainable alternatives to the conventional ways of managing urban water. SWITCH also set out to do things differently by carrying out action-orientated research in cities that was more demand-led reflecting the expressed needs of cities.
