Sustainable Urban Water Management in Switzerland
Eva Lieberherr argues that Switzerland’s current centralized water system is inefficient and unsustainable, especially under climate change pressures. She proposes a decentralized, modular, and circular approach that treats and reuses water locally, recovering nutrients for fertilizer. Pilot projects, such as in Geneva, demonstrate feasibility, but only 2.5 % of wastewater is currently handled this way, indicating a need for more pilots and potential legal adjustments.
