Urban Water Crisis and Management: Strategies for Sustainable Development

Urban Water Crisis and Management Strategies for Sustainable Development presents solutions for the current challenges of urban water and their management strategies. Through the contributed chapters, a framework is laid out for a reduction of the use of groundwater (heavily overused as a solution) and the alternative options for the supply of water to the cities or urban water. Therefore, decision-makers and water supply authorities will get also benefited along with the students to supply safe water in the cities. This book is unique in the specified area of urban water management as there is no comparable book is available till now. An introductory overview of urban water, its problems and management approaches are discussed in Urban water crisis and management strategies. It will address the root causes of the water crisis in urban areas. Quantitative and qualitative problems of urban water will be discussed in this book. Availability of scientific and technical knowledge to manage water resources in the cities and towns will also be addressed. Significant gaps between developed and developing nations in the procedure of water management will be addressed in the chapters. Policy for water management in the urban areas will be discussed along with the sources of water. This book will also include the practical information regarding recycling and reuse of wastewater which will be useful as baseline data for the future. The book is divided into two themes. Presents the quantitative study of water supply in urban areas, identifies the water scarcity in megacities and their management approaches for sustainable development of megacities Identifies technology and instruments required for the management and safe supply of water Includes case studies of where these technologies have been used successfully INDICE: 1.
