urban water planning

Urban water planning involves managing a city's water resources to ensure their availability for drinking, sanitation, recreation, and ecosystem health. This process includes assessing water supply sources (like rivers and aquifers), planning for infrastructure (like pipes and treatment plants), managing water demand, and addressing issues such as pollution and climate change. Effective urban water planning aims to provide reliable, safe water to residents while promoting sustainability, reducing waste, and protecting natural water systems. It requires collaboration among governments, engineers, and the community to balance the needs of people and the environment.
