Advancing Safe, Climate-Resilient Drinking Water Infrastructure and UN SDGs...
The Sustainable Drinking Water Infrastructure Hub supports governments, utilities, and Tribal authorities in strengthening safe, climate-resilient drinking water infrastructure...The Sustainable Drinking Water Infrastructure Hub supports governments, utilities, and Tribal authorities in strengthening safe, climate-resilient drinking water infrastructure through equitable, data-driven planning. The Hub provides access to the UNEP-recognized Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator (LSLRCC), a free, multilingual tool that models project costs, informs risk-based investment, and supports compliance with the U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) and State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs.
Recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and international sustainability networks, the Hub advances key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).
Through the integration of climate-adaptive drinking water infrastructure planning strategies, the Hub supports communities in managing risks from flooding, drought, and extreme weather while fostering resilient, lead-free, and sustainable drinking water systems.
This public resource complements the LSLRCC record already hosted on IHP-WINS, placing it within a broader ecosystem of applied research, policy alignment, and knowledge sharing dedicated to advancing safe, equitable, and risk-informed drinking water management worldwide.

Composed of...This publication aims to bridge the gap between climate and disasters, in the face of the uncertainties that climate change poses to water managers and policymakers. Composed of a compilation of worldwide case studies, it provides examples of innovative water management and climate risk assessment approaches. The publication also highlights the National Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) with the aim of identifying links between these high-level frameworks, DRR and water issues, and describing how the policy-practice linkages can be turned into action.
