Towards integrated urban water management
The twin engines of urbanisation and resource depletion will undermine efforts to achieve water security: water availability will be eroded and conflicts will escalate. The assumptions underlying conventional urban water management must be revisited. This paper outlines the effects of urbanization on water security and how the challenges of urban water resources management can be tackled. The paper provides the conceptual framework for a particular topic and the options for action.
