How to measure urban water security? An introduction to the Water Security Assessment Tool (WATSAT)

The objective of the project was to develop a web-based digital tool called the Water Security Assessment Tool (WATSAT) to help city authorities and decision-makers make an objective evaluation of the water security situation in the city. It uses an indicator-based methodology that measures five distinct dimensions (broad elements) of water security: “Water supply and...

A framework for water security assessment at basin scale

The objective of this study was to develop an operational water security assessment framework for basin-scale analysis using an indicator-based methodology. Because operationalization of water security enhancement will require a bottom-up approach, the study considered basin-scale analysis instead of the traditional national-scale analyses. The DPSIR (Driving Forces-Pressures-State-Impact-Response) framework was used to identify the pertinent driving...
