Series: SpringerBriefs on Case Studies of Sustainable Development

This open access book highlights knowledge and expertise in Urban Water Demand Management (WDM) in ASEAN through comprehensive literature review and analysis, as well as stakeholder consultations. It documents urban WDM policies, initiatives, and practices that have demonstrated effective implementation outcomes across various contexts and which are expected to be relevant for cities in ASEAN. A WDM typology developed for this book identifies four key WDM measures, namely: water losses, economic instruments, non-price mechanisms, and alternative water reuse systems in the ASEAN context. Case illustrations of their effective implementation in different ASEAN cities are also included.

Dr. Corinne Ong takes a keen interest in the analysis of public policy tools and instruments in urban water governance—in particular, policy initiatives that seek to influence social behaviors. As an environmental sociologist, she has also researched on, and published case studies and quantitative studies that analyse the impacts of alternative and complementary initiatives, in improving public sensitivity and adaptability to (water-related) climate risks. These alternatives include community-driven ‘soft-path’ alternatives and serious games. Prof. Cecilia Tortajada has over 30 years of experience on water, environment and natural resources management, agricultural development, and capacity building in the overall context of development. Working at present on impacts of global changes on water resources, environment, food, and societies. Ojasvee Arora has completed her undergraduate degree in economics with environmental studies. She holds two master’s degrees in ecological economics from the University of Edinburgh and environmental management from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Her interests lie in the intersection of economics and environmental studies with a focus on water management, collective environmental behavior and energy security.
