WaCCliM Roadmap

The transition to low-carbon urban water utilities is an innovative idea, currently embraced only by a few forward-thinking utilities. Early adopters of the WaCCliM Roadmap to a Low-Carbon Urban Water Utility are well positioned for an uncertain water-climate future. This roadmap is directed at urban water utility managers in charge of planning future actions, as well as at the stakeholders who will support the utility’s action plans.

ECAM – Energy Performance and Carbon Emissions Assessment and Monitoring Tool

WaCCliM has developed the innovative ECAM Tool to measure greenhouse gas emissions and energy performance from urban water services at a system-wide level. By identifying areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy savings and improve overall efficiencies to reduce costs, ECAM offers a holistic approach for urban water utilities to shift to a climate-smart and sustainable water management.
