Water systems and utilities under the circular economy model ensure that the value and usefulness of resources are preserved for a long time. 

In this knowledge sharing session, Claudio de Jesus of Águas de Portugal discussed the opportunity for water utilities to shift from a conventional operational model to one that supports the circular economy, maximizing the use and value of water and conserving both natural and financial capital. 

Águas de Portugal is a state-owned company founded in 1993 with a mission to design, build, and manage water supply and wastewater systems in a framework of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. In the last 25 years, Águas de Portugal Group has created 12 water supply and sanitation regional utilities serving 8 million people (80% of the Portuguese population). At present, the company manages different solutions ranging from systems for high density urban areas to rural regions, and from small decentralized systems to large high-tech and smart systems.
