In 1999, AwwaRF conducted a project entitled Strategic Assessment of the Future of Water Utilities, which examined the societal, business, and utility trends shaping the water utility industry through a scenario-planning exercise. National and international utility managers identified key trends, attributes of success, and success strategies that were likely to be most effective in several potential future scenarios. Feedback from subscribers and other AwwaRF stakeholders indicated that this project was extremely useful to the water supply industry. Trends and scenarios developed by the researcher provided useful tools and resources to utility planners and managers. The project findings were used substantially in AwwaRF research planning. It has been five years since the initiation of that project, and several new trends have developed in the meantime. Updating the trends analysis and reevaluating the implications for water utilities would help utility managers adjust and optimize their organizational planning strategy.

In 2000, three trends papers, grouped as societal, business, and utility categories, were written to provide context for expert workshops. These trend documents were updated and compiled into a single trend document that provides the data supporting the trend as well as potential implications for the trends. This critical briefing document was created to prepare participants for a Futures Workshop. The workshop identified the most important trends and strategies. The study resulted in six trend papers that were published in Journal AWWA. This study will provide water utility managers with current strategic planning information to help develop strategies for future utility success. The trend papers can serve as resource documents to identify the environmental factors that will affect a given utility in the future. Other local factors must also be considered, but the trends documented here will likely be in play at most utilities. The results of the research can comprise a significant part of the "environmental scan" element of traditional strategic planning as well as give guidance to water utilities regarding potential strategies to better position the utility for future success.

This book investigates the current and future state of freshwater and the global drive to achieve the UN sustainability goal. It first explores the major barriers to achieving the goal and then examines some of the programs water managers are adopting to overcome those barriers. These programs include finding new ways to supplement existing water supplies, and greater acceptance of alternative supplies, such as recycled waste water and desalination; green infrastructures, and rain and storm water harvesting. It concludes with two chapters on water management tools, including asset management and strategic planning, which are of particular interest to small water and wastewater utilities.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
