This handbook on adaptation of urban water systems to climate change is an initiative of
the SWITCH project1 and the result of a collaboration between ICLEI – Local Governments
for Sustainability, the International Water Association (IWA) and the UNESCO-IHE
Institute for Water Education. It draws on the research and findings from the SWITCH and
PREPARED2 EU Framework Programme projects. This handbook is a "living" document
that is envisaged to be updated yearly with new information and experiences and is
complemented by a website with additional information (www.adaptationhandbook.org).
