Dr. Arora has extensive experience in both research and university teaching. Her main research focus is on water resource management, integrated catchment modelling, urban water cycle modelling, the water–energy nexus, water quality, stream health, land and groundwater remediation, and contaminant transport modelling. Dr. Arora was awarded the 2013 ’Victoria Fellowship’ and has been involved in various projects based on the Integrated Catchment Management approach. Dr. Arora is the Deputy Director of the Melbourne India Postgraduate Program (MIPP) and winner of the 2017 Award for Excellence in Internationalisation of Research. Dr. Arora chaired a 3-day conference on ’Practical Responses to Climate Change’ held in Melbourne in November 2014. She has organized various sessions in national and international conferences and published widely in high impact journals. She serves as a member of editorial boards as well as reviewers for various journals. Hector Malano graduated in Agricultural Engineering in 1973 at the National University of Cordoba, Argentina. In 1981, he was awarded a Master’s degree in Irrigation and Drainage Engineering from Utah State University (USA) for research carried out on the behaviour of infiltration under surge flow hydraulics. He was subsequently awarded a PhD in Irrigation Engineering from the same university in 1985 for his research of two-dimensional numerical modelling of interceptor drains. In 2006, he was appointed the Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Hector Malano has conducted research on various aspects of water resources at three scales: (i) On-farm modelling of surface irrigation systems; (ii) modelling of irrigation distribution networks; (iii) water allocation between competing uses at the catchment level; (iv) management and modelling of the urban water cycle with special emphasis on complex systems. This research focuses on the design of evidence-based planning policies for achieving fit-for-purpose utilisation of multiple sources and multiple demands of water. Hector is extensively involved in international professional and research organisations. Recently, he concluded a 3-year term as Vice-President of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage. He has consulted for several international organisations including the World Bank, AusAID and Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Hector has authored and co-authored over 150 scientific papers on these topics. He is currently Chief Investigator of several research grants including Allocation Modelling in the Krishna Basin, India, Regional and Economic Benefits through Smarter Irrigation (Hydraulic Modelling). He is the node coordinator of the CRC for Irrigation Futures and is involved in the CRC for eWater. vii Preface to ”Urban Water Cycle Modelling and Management” The main aim of this book is to bring together key advances in the integrated management of the urban water cycle. Increasingly, due to concerns arising from reducing emissions associated with climate change to scarcity of water resources for urban populations, the main focus in managing urban water supplies is on the integration of multiple sources and multiples uses of water resources based on fit-for-purpose criteria. Our motivation for preparing this book is to address the key challenges and potential solutions in undertaking the changes needed to achieve integrated urban water resource management goals, and in so doing, assist researchers and practitioners by providing the tools they need to implement these changes. This book has arisen from the extensive research that the editors have carried out in the field of urban water resource management in the last decade. This experience also assisted us in gaining a greater understanding of the technical, economic and policy challenges facing water managers engaged in this field. The book includes 12 papers and to assist the reader in navigating through this book, we have grouped the papers into the following five main themes: • Integrated water supply: papers 1–5 • Urban flood modelling: papers 6–8 • Reservoir operations for urban water supply: papers 9–10 • Science-policy interface: paper 11 • Policy risk: paper 12 We hope that the content of this book contributes and stimulates further discussion and research on these important aspects of urban water management, and also signals possible gaps and directions that future research needs to address in integrated urban water management. The preparation of this book was only possible because of the contributions from the various authors involved. We are also very grateful to the many reviewers for their quality
