Lisbon has a smart management strategy for all key areas of urban management. Awarded the European Green Capital 2020 distinction, the city aims to provide high quality of life to a growing population and a growing economy, while facing the challenges of climate change based on a green-blue infrastructure. For water efficiency, Lisbon has been implementing new standards in municipal buildings, but there is no auditing/certification mechanism. Ambition until end of project: Deliver algorithms and software for city water cycle components’ quantification and water-energy-phosphorous balance assessment, risk assessment of alternative water sources, performance-cost-risk based decision support tool for water-energy-P sustainable management, water-smart tools tested at city level and with multiple users (municipality, agriculture, beer industry, tourism); Develop a protocol for food-grade water production from treated wastewater demonstrated for artisanal beer industry. Validate a climate-readiness index in pilot households and buildings, and deliver the subsequent auditing/certification mechanism for Climate Readiness for municipal (and replicated to private) buildings, new or renovated ones. To build trust on water reuse, and to deliver governance model(s) and ultimately a well-informed society, willing and ready to use the water-smart products developed.
