The lifespan and therefore planning horizon of central organized water infrastructure can be up to 100years. The impact of climate change, water scarcity, land use change, population growth but also population shrinking can only be predicted for such a time horizon with uncertainties. One solution is to make centralized organized water infrastructure more flexible (i.e. implement decentralized measures). But these can cause severe impacts on existing centralized infrastructure. Low flow conditions in urban drainage systems can cause sediment deposition and for water supply systems water age problems may occur. This work focuses on city scale analysis for assessing the impact of such measures (i.e. transitions from centralized to decentralized solutions).
