Net Zero Urban Water Future: Self Sustaining Cities in the Southwest with Courtney Crosson at the University of Arizona Wonder House SXSW23
Subscribe: [ Ссылка ]

Innovation in urban water systems is required to address drivers of change across natural, built and social systems including climate change, economic development, and aged infrastructure. Water systems are complex socio-technical systems that interact with biophysical systems to supply and reclaim water. I present a vision to enhance urban water system resilience through a Net Zero Urban Water (NZUW) approach, which meets the needs of a given community with a locally available and sustainable water supply, without detriment to interconnected systems and long-term water supply. NZUW is an integrative approach with progressive targets assessed using a quantitative framework to expand adaptive and responsive solutions for urban water self-sufficiency. Decision makers can use NZUW to understand tradeoffs between future interventions to urban water systems across spatial and temporal scales.

Courtney Crosson is a licensed architect, Director of the Drachman Institute, and Associate Professor at the University of Arizona, where she teaches classes on water in the built environment and community outreach studios.
