SACOSS Submission to the Department for Environment and Water on Future Urban Water Directions

The SACOSS submission to the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) on Setting Our Future Urban Water Directions addresses:

• The importance of a robust framework to independently evaluate the merits on new and emerging technologies for water supply augmentation
• The value of setting a basic level of service mechanism to assist in decision making for integrated water system planning
• The importance of community engagement and capacity building to participate in decision making processes
• The social responsibility to safeguard members of the community most at risk to the impact of flooding, particularly those who are underinsured
• The need to have policies explicitly incorporating health equity objects, acknowledging the links between climate change and the social determinants of health
