Urban water infrastructure and the institutions responsible for its management have gradually evolved over the past two centuries. Today, they are under increasing stress as water scarcity and a growing recognition of the importance of factors other than the cost of service provision are forcing a reexamination of long-held ideas. Research and development that supports new technological approaches and more effective management strategies are needed to ensure that the emerging framework for urban water systems will meet future societal needs.
城市水基础设施及其管理机构在过去的两个世纪中逐渐演变。如今，随着水资源短缺以及对服务提供成本以外的其他因素的重要性的认识不断提高，这些基础设施和机构正面临越来越大的压力，迫使人们重新审视长期以来的观念。需要开展研究和开发工作，以支持新技术方法和更有效的管理战略，从而确保新兴的城市水系统框架能够满足未来社会的需求。
