“…Although it is possible to use more complex modeling of the spatial distribution of risks, such as modeling of scenarios recreating climate change impacts, the present simplified approach was a useful element for decision making within the WSP framework. These results concur with previous studies, where the importance of risk maps for aiding WSPs was also demonstrated [17,61,62]. For instance, in the WSP of Kampala, Uganda, GISs were used for describing the vulnerability of drinking-water provision pipes combining environmental, infrastructural and socio-demographic data, which was reported to be crucial in defining the priority for implementation of control measures and monitoring [17].…”

“…For instance, in the WSP of Kampala, Uganda, GISs were used for describing the vulnerability of drinking-water provision pipes combining environmental, infrastructural and socio-demographic data, which was reported to be crucial in defining the priority for implementation of control measures and monitoring [17]. In some cities in Germany, using a semi-quantitative approach for risk mapping allowed an approximate overview of risks to the groundwater resources depending on land use and flooding events [61]. This work shows an additional example of the benefits of using GISs as an important part of the WSP process.…”

“…As this was enabled through the use of openly available GIS software and land-use data, the use of these tools could be extrapolated to other locations where data availability and local capacity for data collection are limited. However, the proposed use of GISs can also have limitations regarding site-specific data availability, local lack of training to use the software and limited local capacity to update databases, as pointed out in [61]. Although there is openly available geographic data that can support decision making, there is still place-specific information that needs to be provided by the community, stakeholders and local institutions.…”

“…Geographic information systems (GISs) can be a valuable tool for implementing various aspects of WSPs, as they can be used to visualize possible risks and water-related information [61]. A semi-quantitative approach has been used previously for creating an overview hazard and risk assessment [61,62], monitoring of control measures and incident management [62]. In this work, GIS was used for providing a visual representation of the risk of wastewater seepage from on-site sanitation systems in Leh Town, with the objective of identifying the places where groundwater pollution may be occurring at a higher rate.…”

Climate-resilient water safety plans (CR-WSPs) have been developed as a risk-based approach to ensure a safe drinking-water supply while addressing the increasing stress on water resources resulting from climate change. Current examples of the application of CR-WSPs show a strong sectoral approach that fails to explore the potential synergies between other climate-sensitive sectors related to water, such as food and energy. This can increase the vulnerability or decrease the overall resilience of urban systems when planning climate change adaptation measures. In this work, the Water–Energy–Food (WEF) Nexus approach was applied in the formulation of a CR-WSP in Leh Town, India, a city with rapid development and population growth located in the Himalayas—one of the most sensitive ecosystems to climate change. The WEF Nexus approach was applied in the system description using a critical infrastructure approach and in the formulation of scenarios for risk management which exploited intersectoral synergies through water reclamation with resource recovery using constructed wetlands. The improvements in WEF security and risk reduction were demonstrated through indicators and risk mapping with geographical information systems (GISs). The methods for integrating the WEF Nexus approach in CR-WSPs provided through this work can serve as a base for a trans-sectoral, resilient approach within risk-based approaches for water security.

Background: Challenges of using geographic information systems (GIS) in public health monitoring are considered. Objective: To review scientific literature on application of geographic information systems as a tool of public health monitoring used to control the sanitary and epidemiological state of the environment, including water bodies, and of health care. Methods: We studied the conceptual apparatus of a geographic information system, analyzed publications describing the use of this tool in the sanitary and hygienic surveillance of water bodies and the prospects for the development and improvement of this system. We examined topical papers published in 2008–2022 and found in searchable electronic databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, eLIBRARY, and ResearchGate) using the following keywords: geographic information system (GIS), sanitary and epidemiological control, public health, water. Of 154 initially identified sources, we selected 53 publications on the experience of using geographic information systems by ministries, federal executive bodies, scientific and higher educational institutions, and also analyzed seven regulatory documents, directly or indirectly regulating the work of geographic information systems. Results and discussion: This review considers the possibility of using a geographic information system as a model for coordinating the activities of local and regional state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance on priority issues related to public health protection. The geographic information system in this case is considered as a single coordination center that ensures accumulation, analysis and visualization of sanitary and epidemiological information on biological contamination of water bodies. Along with the importance and application of GIS, part of the review is devoted to examples of implementation and shortcomings of existing tools, emphasizing the necessity to create a new “unified” software product able to provide “effective” consolidation of information on the sanitary and epidemiological safety of the use of water resources. Conclusion: A geographic information system is not only an effective tool for storing, systematizing and analyzing incoming information on biological contamination of water bodies, but also one of the modern techniques solving such a practical problem as the feasibility of sanitary and hygienic monitoring of water quality and health protection in the population using this water source.
