Synopsis
Understanding the impacts of urbanization on the urban water cycle and managing the associated health risks demand adequate strategies and measures. Health risks associated with urban water systems and services include the microbiological and chemical contamination of urban waters and outbreak of water-borne diseases, mainly due to poor water and sanitation in urban areas, and the discharge as well as the disposal of inadequately treated, or untreated, industrial and domestic wastewater. Climate change only exacerbates these problems, as alternative scenarios need to be taken into consideration in urban water risk management. Urban Water Security: Managing Risks - the result of a project by UNESCO's International Hydrological Programme on the topic - addresses issues associated with urban water risks. The first section of the volume describes risks associated with urban water systems and services. The volume then discusses the concept of risk management for urban water systems and explores different approaches to managing and controlling urban water risks. A concluding section presents case studies on managing urban water risks., @text: This book is focused on the effects of the still increasing urbanization, and, accordingly, the increasing number of urban dwellers and the consequences for the urban water cycle. It elaborates on the effects, impact and management strategies to better prepare the city on the increasing urbanization by describing the risks, presenting approaches to risk control and by demonstrating effects through big case studies done around the world.
