气候变化为集中式供水基础设施提出了新的挑战。新技术提供了模块化、自适应和分散式供水解决方案。可持续的供水解决方案需要以公正为导向的框架来确保公平。气候变化、基础设施老化和资金短缺通过增加饮用水成本和破坏水安全，威胁着现代20世纪世纪集中式供水系统的可持续性，特别是对服务不足的人群。模块化、自适应和分散式（MAD）水基础设施可以通过使用新技术、机构和实践来解决这一问题，以在缺乏现有集中式水基础设施的情况下生产、运输和储存清洁水。MAD水系统的例子包括：下一代超滤系统、大气水捕获系统、移动的水处理站和创新的基于容器的系统。这些分散的模式需要一个以正义为导向的框架，以释放可持续获得安全，可靠，负担得起的供水的承诺，以实现一个更加移动的，公正和有弹性的世界。我们提出了一个模型，以推进正义为导向的MAD水。
HighlightsClimate change presents new challenges for centralised water infrastructure.New technologies offer modular, adaptive, and decentralised water supply solutions.Sustainable water solutions will require justice-oriented frameworks to ensure equity.Climate change, ageing infrastructure, and funding shortfalls threaten the sustainability of modern, 20th century centralised water systems by increasing drinking water costs and undermining water security, particularly for underserved populations. Modular, adaptive, and decentralised (MAD) water infrastructures can address this by using novel technologies, institutions, and practices to produce, transport, and store clean water in the absence of—or integrated alongside—existing centralised water infrastructure. Examples of MAD water systems include: next-generation ultrafiltration systems, atmospheric water capture systems, mobile water treatment stations, and innovative container-based systems. These decentralised models require a justice-oriented framework to unlock the promise of sustainable access to safe, reliable, affordable water supply for a more mobile, just, and resilient world. We propose a model for advancing justice-oriented MAD water.
