Strengthening Our Cities: Enhancing Urban Resilience and Water Efficiency

This impact has made disaster planning a major priority in New York and other cities around the globe.

Hurricane Sandy devastated the entire east coast of the United States – causing severe flooding and damage, as well as considerable loss of life.

• Urban Resilience

• Water Efficiency

Two of the largest challenges facing our industry: Urban Resilience – helping cities become more resilient to flooding and drought

Water Efficiency – helping cities improve their water system efficiency

Flood and Drought

Population Growth

Climate Change

By 2050 – 75% of the worlds population will live in cities.

Population growth, coupled with the effects of climate change, magnify the effects of flooding & drought on our cities. Flooding is the more destructive threat, affecting more than 200

million people in 2012 and causing $40B in losses. Drought is the second biggest disaster affecting cities… impacting energy, food, and industrial production. Addressing flooding & drought requires investments of more than

$100 billion annually.

Underinvestment Inefficient Water Infrastructure

Often, more than 30% of water is lost during the water cycle

before it’s delivered where it’s needed, leaking both liters AND kilowatts in the process.

In the next 20 years, nearly $700 billion is needed to upgrade the water and wastewater infrastructure in the US alone.

In addition, the UN estimates that the total annual spending on

water infrastructure by developing countries must double, to $180 billion.

In Xylem’s Value of Water Index survey, nearly 90% of Americans said that water infrastructure in the U.S. needs reform

Case #1Singapore PUB: Optimizing Water System Efficiency

Water System Efficiency

Most of you know PUB for its successful water reuse program –

focused on creating ‘new water.’ Xylem has been working with PUB to make ‘new water’ – ‘smart water’.

Working with PUB and our partner, Visenti, we are implementing an end-to-end, real-time monitoring solution to help manage energy consumption, water quality and leakage detection.

Our state-of-art technology and data analysis are helping identify issues like leaking pipes and contaminated water and also provide insight into demand and consumption to optimize water operations and usage.

Case #2New York City: Urban Resilience

Urban resiliency…resiliency to flooding, in particular. Our approach focuses on three areas: • Early warning systems: Using weather and tidal change data to

improve disaster forecasts

• Preparation: Pre-deploying equipment and resources to handle an imminent event

• Planning: Working with urban planners and community leaders to build the physical and social infrastructure needed to reduce risk

Our breadth and depth of experience across the water cycle enabled us to provide a comprehensive approach to Sandy that helped thousands of people and businesses.
