Resilience is a concept that transcends social communities, populations and transforms global communities. Guided by Hollings seminal work in 1973 scholars have adapted Holling's resilience model across multiple disciplines. Resilience in the critical infrastructure sectors; and, specifically in the water sector requires both engineering resilience and ecological resilience. Water is a special case that connects us to our global environment. Thus, the water sector must be viewed as a special case where adaptation to variability in different climate regions require variable approaches, methods, planning and capital investment strategies. It is essential that individual water utilities personalize preparedness strategies, design operational improvements and invest in capital infrastructure projects because the human-community is deeply rooted in its ecological environment. These are symbiotic relationships framed by a utility system's boundaries. It is within these boundaries that the cross-sector interactions of water scarcity, energy costs, consumers' behavioral habits, and financial constraints influence management decisions. Therefore, we can view the networked water sector as a living system where function and flexibility must absorb unpredictable events and shocks.
