Best Environmental Management Practice in the Public Administration Sector

SWITCH

SWITCH aims to bring about a paradigm shift in urban water management away from existing ad hoc solutions to urban water management and towards a more coherent and integrated approach. The vision of SWITCH is for sustainable urban water management in the ''City of the Future''.

Integration in urban waters management is the key for getting water systems prepared for climate change and thus making them more sustainable in the long run. The SWITCH Training Kit has been developed to show how integration can be realized in practice.
