Abstract The circular economy has attracted considerable attention also in relation to water, an indispensable element the sustainment of life and a critical input resource for world economy. Despite growing body research on water (CEW), consistent terminology clear conceptualisation CEW strategies are lacking. Without such aspects, decision-makers, scientists professionals may be hindered developing shared understanding problems solutions exploiting new opportunities domain CEW. Furthermore, we argue that is unique because it resource, product service with no equivalent economic system should considered valued as Accordingly, provide definition framework reducing, preserving optimising use through waste avoidance, efficient utilisation quality retention while ensuring environmental protection conservation. Building analysis academic literature cases studies, outline illustrate set nine strategies, including Rethink, Avoid, Reduce, Replace, Reuse, Recycle, Cascade, Store Recover. Finally, identify normative (legislation), governance (roles responsibilities) implementation (barriers application) challenges need addressed facilitate transition comprehensive
