Urban environmental sustainability is critical because urbanization and its impacts on the environment and water resources, whether groundwater, rivers, lakes or reservoirs, are occurring at an unprecedented rate. The complex water management problems of large cities are addressed with an interdisciplinary outlook. Alternative styles of water management are also considered. The 39 papers are organized in four topics:

Integrated water resource management

Sustainability and socio-economic and
eco-environmental issues

Urban drainage/flooding and wastewater management

Water quality monitoring and management

 

An excellent information resource for current water management and planning in, around, and for large cities in the developing world, including Ibadan and Lagos (Nigeria), Delhi and Chennai (India), Shijiazhuang, Tienjing and Luoyang (China), Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Curitiba (Brazil), as well as Zagreb and Dresden in eastern Europe.
