Urban river

An urban river refers to a watercourse that flows through or near a city or town. These rivers play an important role in urban ecosystems, providing habitats for wildlife and recreational areas for residents. They can also influence local climate and offer aesthetic value. However, urbanization often leads to challenges such as pollution, habitat destruction, and flooding. Effective management of urban rivers is essential to balance development with environmental health, ensuring that these waterways remain vital resources for communities while preserving their natural functions.
