Urban water use efficiency

Urban water use efficiency refers to how effectively a city or community uses water to meet its needs. It measures the amount of useful water used for purposes like drinking, cooking, sanitation, and industry compared to the total water drawn from sources. Higher efficiency means less water is wasted through leaks, overuse, or evaporation, leading to sustainable water management. Improving urban water use efficiency helps conserve water resources, reduces costs, and supports environmental health, especially in areas facing water scarcity. It involves strategies like fixing leaks, adopting water-saving devices, and promoting responsible consumption.
