Abstract/Contents

Abstract: The urban wastewater sector is commonly regarded as conservative and risk averse in its decision-making, and the challenges this poses for innovation in individual utilities may collectively hinder the change needed in the industry as a whole. This project reviews risk and risk aversion as barriers to innovation potential in the urban wastewater section, and look towards potential ways to overcome them. Specifically, collective action and targeted policies could reduce both real and perceived innovation risks for decision-makers and help align real and perceived risks such that reputational, political, regulatory, and other risks of technology failure do not pose insurmountable obstacles to the wider diffusion of new technology and management practices around the globe.
