Abstract：
Acque Bresciane is a public company that manages the integrated water cycle for more than 580,000 inhabitants in the Province of Brescia, in the north of Italy, providing drinking water, waste water treatment, and sewer systems. Drinking water systems are supplied with different types of groundwater, springs, and surface water sources (from lakes and rivers) whose availability and quality can be affected by climate change events. A multidisciplinary team, in collaboration with the University of Milano Bicocca, developed a specific Water Safety Plan (WSP) risk matrix focusing on the evaluation of climate-related hazardous events and calculation of their likelihood of occurrence, also using thematic maps. Moreover, to reduce the residual risks, in the risk matrix, possible control measures are suggested, such as the activation of an emergency plan, the use of other water sources, storage tanks, and interconnection with other water distribution networks. This work shows a simple and effective tool that can be applied by drinking water utilities to evaluate climate-related catchment risks, using a WSP risk matrix, thematic maps, and possible control measures to reduce risks in terms of water quality and availability and to respond with resilience to changes.
摘要：
AcqueBresciane是一家上市公司，为布雷西亚省的58万多名居民管理综合水循环，在意大利北部，提供饮用水,废水处理,和下水道系统。饮用水系统供应不同类型的地下水，弹簧,和地表水源（来自湖泊和河流），其可用性和质量可能受到气候变化事件的影响。多学科团队,与米兰Bicocca大学合作，制定了一个具体的水安全计划（WSP）风险矩阵，重点是评估与气候相关的危险事件并计算其发生的可能性，还使用专题地图。此外，为了降低剩余风险，在风险矩阵中，提出了可能的控制措施，比如启动应急计划,使用其他水源，储罐,以及与其他供水网络的互连。这项工作显示了一个简单而有效的工具，可应用于饮用水设施评估与气候相关的集水风险，使用WSP风险矩阵，专题地图,和可能的控制措施，以减少水质和可获得性方面的风险，并应对变化。
