The urban water crisis is a global phenomenon, but it is more obvious in the megacities of the developing world. Urban drought, although not a familiar term, will pose a significant threat to humankind in the near future, especially in the context of increasing population in cities. Many cities are already unable to provide safe, clean water for their citizens. Some of the world’s largest cities depend heavily on groundwater for their water supply. It is unlikely that dependence on aquifers, which take many years to recharge, will be sustainable. As urban populations grow, water use will need to shift from agriculture to municipal and industrial uses, making decisions about allocating between different sectors difficult..Inefficient water-use practices by households and industries, fragmented management of water between sectors and institutions, climate-induced water shortages, environmental degradation of water sources, and inadequate use of alternate sources are also issues of | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Water insecurity; Innovative water practices; Urban water challenges; Drought in Asian Cities; Water-sec | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-8947-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-10-8947-3Series ISSN 2196-4106 Series E-ISSN 2196-4114 | | issn_series | 2196-4106 | | copyright | Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019 |
