In this research we examine the extension and application of UWOT, the Urban Water Optioneering Tool [1], for the modelling of water - energy interactions within water supply systems. The tool was tested in the complex urban water system of Athens by simulating the current water-energy situation and attempting to assess the effect of potential interventions, mainly focusing on hydropower generation, with the aim of developing water-energy roadmaps. The paper also discusses the role of such integrated modelling tools and methodologies in sustainable strategic planning and efficient management at the city level.
