Case Studies Illustrating the Multiple-Use
Water Services Options

Abstract This brief comprises case studies that illustrate blue-green options in
urban locations in Seoul, Melbourne, Philadelphia, Wallington and Brisbane as well
as projects conducted by nonpro

t organisations in both Asia and Africa. Each case
study breaks out the challenges, policy framework, bene ts, benchmarks, lessons

learned (success and failures) and potential next steps. The section on MUS, an
integrated, participatory service delivery approach that considers water users '

multiple needs as a starting point and involves design, financing, provision and

management of sustainable water services along with supporting programmes
regarding human health, livelihoods and environment, provides insight into pro-
grammes conducted in seven countries.
