| Session Description |
During the last five decades there has been a sharp increase in urban groundwater consumption owing to the population explosion, unprecedented rise in standard of living, and enormous economic development. Climate change and associated enhanced climate variability have emerged as important factors to consider in water resource planning. There is a need to understand the nature of the city’s water sources and the role the urban area plays on those sources particularly the groundwater systems. The key area of interest for this session is to explore links surface and ground water taking into account waste generation by the urban environment. Can we find solutions which takes into account climate change and population growth for sustainable urban water cycle management? |
