How Utilities Can Operationalize One Water Strategies
One Water is more than a buzzword. It is an important strategy to identify multiple benefits to assist utilities in looking beyond the core water infrastructure needs and uncover opportunities to deliver broader environmental, community and economic value.
In this Wastewater Digest video interview with Bob Crossen, HDR’s One Water Planning Lead Jacquelin Mutter and Utility Management Services Director Trent Stober talk about how water agencies can move from conceptual One Water thinking to practical implementation.
By using HDR’s A-I-R framework (Assess, Identify, Reimagine), utilities are guided through a structured process to integrate water and wastewater planning. This integrated approach supports a more sustainable future by advancing equitable and affordable water access, strengthening water supply resilience, improving wastewater reliability, enhancing flood protection and promoting healthy ecosystems that contribute to long-term community and regional prosperity.
