Water system supplied for less than 100 people is called small-scale water system. We have been working on the “small water”, a combination of water supply system and wastewater treatment system at small scale, developing a series of technologies such as water resources tracking, regeneration of domestic water, and socioeconomic impact assessment, and trying its implementation to the localities. We will report preliminary results collected from local residents in Yamanashi, Japan and would like to expect a discussion on life style and regional design with co-existence of publicly and privately managed water services.
