Urban waterways

Urban waterways refer to rivers, streams, canals, and other water bodies found within city environments. These water features play crucial roles by managing stormwater, providing recreational spaces, supporting local ecosystems, and enhancing urban aesthetics. They can suffer from pollution and habitat loss due to urban development, making management important for sustainability. Cities are increasingly recognizing the value of revitalizing these waterways to promote environmental health, improve quality of life for residents, and combat flooding while integrating nature into urban settings.
