This comprehensive book delves into the multifaceted impacts of urbanization on hydrological systems and water resources. The first half of the book explores the realm of urbanization and surface waters, commencing with an examination of the status of hydrological systems within urban areas, encompassing catchment characteristics and the dynamics of rainfall. The most significant hydrological challenges faced by cities revolve around alterations in runoff patterns resulting from precipitation. While rainfall events may have become less frequent in recent years, their intensity has increased, sometimes leading to devastating flash floods. Despite the substantial increase in runoff, it is worth noting that it can be attributed to the reduction of infiltration caused by the construction of roads. This reduction, in turn, leads to groundwater decline and depletion.
The second half of the book focuses on the profound impact of urbanization on groundwater, commencing with the hindrance or significant reduction in recharge occurring due to altered urban surfaces. The limited groundwater resources are heavily exploited by the urban population, resulting in water scarcity and depletion. Furthermore, groundwater becomes polluted due to the presence of solid waste dumping sites or the discharge of industrial wastewaters, further exacerbating the challenges faced by hydrological systems.
This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, municipal/city authorities, government officials, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between urbanization, hydrology, and water resources, enabling stakeholders to develop effective strategies and solutions to address the pressing challenges associated with urbanization and water management.
