- Synopsis
- The Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) is an emerging approach to managing the entire urban water cycle in an integrated way, which is key to achieving the sustainability of urban water resources and services. An examination of integrated management of water resources in urban settings, this book focuses on issues specific to arid and semi-arid regions. It provides an overview of the various aspects of IUWM in arid and semi-arid regions, emphasizing water supply technologies such as artificial recharge, water transfers, desalination, and rainfall harvesting. The book discusses water excess management in the context of the stormwater and the floodplain management systems. It includes case studies from developed and developing countries that underline the needs and challenges of water management in urban environments in arid and semi-arid regions around the world.
