Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study examines the concepts of circular economy and circular water economy within a historical, theoretical, and strategic framework. Circular economy approaches, developed as alternatives to linear production-consumption models, are based on resource efficiency, waste minimization, and closed-loop system design. The circular water economy expands these principles into water management, encompassing not only the reuse of water, but also energy and nutrient recovery, infrastructure efficiency, social inclusivity, and climate resilience. Bibliometric analysis conducted through the Scopus database reveals that water-focused studies remain limited within the circular economy literature. In this context, the WICER (Water in Circular Economy and Resilience) model—focusing on resilient and inclusive services, pollution reduction, and ecosystem restoration—is evaluated alongside strategies for implementing circular water systems. The study contributes to the literature and offers a comprehensive, multi-scalar, and resilient governance framework for water management, aimed at supporting policymakers and practitioners in the transition toward sustainable urban systems.

Keywords: Circular economy, circular water economy, WICER model, water management, sustainable strategies
