Studies show that climate change will affect all areas of the water industry, including the quality and availability of water resources, the infrastructures, and the treatments that are required to meet the quality standard. Key questions addressed in this work include identification of the expected source water quality changes, the impact of these quality changes to the water utilities, identification of vulnerabilities of current water treatment schemes, and adaptation/mitigation options to co
