摘要：Globally, groundwater is the major drinking water resource. Improving
the sustainability of groundwater abstraction for drinking water calls
for adaptation on a local scale. The aim of this research is to develop
a locally oriented, integrated sustainability assessment framework to
support the adaptation planning process for local drinking water
abstractions. The framework uses 45 socio-economic, physical and
technical sustainability criteria. Future developments that affect the
sustainability of local drinking water abstractions are the increasing
water demand, land use change, climate change and soil energy
transition. Based on the sustainability challenges of local drinking
water abstractions, water saving, protection and restoration of raw
water quality, mitigation or reduction of impact of abstraction and
improvement of supply security are identified as adaptation strategies.
To illustrate the proposed approach the sustainability assessment
framework was applied to two local drinking water abstractions in
the Netherlands. The paper concludes that the proposed framework
provides decision- makers with a transparent understanding of tradeoffs
that decisions have, and the information generated by the framework
supports a careful balancing of relevant aspects playing a role in
a decision on adapting local drinking water abstractions. Further
development and upscaling of the proposed framework to
a drinking water company’s level will contribute to sustainable development
of drinking water abstraction on a strategic level.
