Furthermore, some recent initiatives from groups of companies in the Nordic countries should be mentioned. Sweden Textile Water Initiative (STWI) started in 2010 as a joint project between textile and leather retail companies in Sweden. As of November 2011, 32 companies have joined STWI. The aim of the STWI is to produce guidelines for sustainable water management both for the textile sector and the leather sector. 

The flows of wastewater originating from the water supply of a community and runoff from precipitation on urban surfaces are typically collected and conveyed for treatment and disposal. The system used for this purpose is called a sewer network or a collection system that consists of individual pipes (sewer lines) and a number of installations, such as inlet structures and pumps, to facilitate collection and transport. The efficient, safe and cost-effective collection and transport of wastewater and urban runoff have been identified as key criteria to be observed. In this context, the word safe means that public health, welfare and environmental protection have high priority. The demand for solutions toward more sustainable water management in the cities is a new challenge.

The workshop was co-chaired by Dr. Luis Marin, Professor of Geology at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM— National Autonomous University of Mexico) and Dr. Henry Vaux, Professor of Resource Economics and Associate Vice President Emeritus of the University of California, Berkeley. The workshop addressed science-based decision making in a regional (Yucatan peninsula) and topical (sustainable ground water management) context.

Human activities and the connected water usage lead to a variety of anthropogenic influences on DOM. The many years of careless exposure of rivers and lakes to untreated and not sufficiently treated wastewater from production sites and households have led to a severe load of the aquatic systems with inorganic, organic, and industrially synthesized products. Their effective elimination has turned out to be a high challenge and has become the key for sustainable water management.

New sustainable systems such as precipitation enhancement [14], efficient water management or proper selection of plants should be developed for afforestation of deserts. 

Alternative water sources are expected to play a significant role in areas suffering water shortages. In many places, waste water reuse is becoming a valuable component of sustainable water management practises. However, substantial and practical information is still needed to safely design, implement and operate waste water reuse schemes.
