One month till Urban Water Security is out

In the 21st Century, the world will see an unprecedented migration of people moving from rural to urban areas. With global demand for water projected to outstrip supply in the coming decades, cities will likely face water insecurity as a result of climate change and the various impacts of urbanisation.

Traditionally, urban water managers have relied on large-scale, supply-side infrastructural projects to meet increased demands for water; however, these projects are environmentally, economically and politically costly.

Urban Water Security  argues that cities need to transition from supply-side to demand-side management to achieve urban water security. This book provides readers with a series of in-depth case studies of leading developed cities, of differing climates, incomes and lifestyles from around the world, that have used demand management tools to modify the attitudes and behaviour of water users in an attempt to achieve urban water security.

Urban Water Security  will be of particular interest to town and regional planners, water conservation managers and policymakers, international companies and organisations with large water footprints, environmental and water NGOs, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students.

1. In cities water conservation steps may be taken. Spillage of water to be avoided in house.All domestic/industrial water to be recycled for use. Cities at the bank of sea to convert sea water through desalination /RO system to be used in mega cities of the world. Trees Plantation campaign may be started to make the city environment green and that helps to reverse the drought conditions.
