  • More about Urban Water Resources


Urbanization is impacting both the quantity and quality of urban water resources, and developing sustainable water resources management strategies is essential. This book presents and explains the major urban water cycle components from a single holistic platform, including rainfall, flood, drainage, water supply, and waste water, with the additions of sustainability practices in most of the components. It also covers flood frequency analysis, deterministic flood estimations, unit hydrograph, flood modeling, commercial modeling tools, and GIS for flood modeling.

The rapid growth of urbanization is exerting a significant impact on both the quantity and quality of urban water resources. It is anticipated that these vital water resources and components of the water cycle will be profoundly affected. To mitigate the adverse effects on global water resources, the development of sustainable water resources management strategies is an imperative necessity. An integrated urban water resources management strategy stands as the cornerstone for the preservation of sustainable water resources. A foundational understanding of the physio-chemical processes and analysis methodologies associated with each and every component of the urban water cycle is essential. In the past, these components have been individually investigated and published.

To facilitate the development of integrated urban water resources management strategies, this book aims to present and elucidate the major urban water cycle components from a unified and holistic perspective. The book encompasses the introduction, analysis, and design methods of a diverse array of urban water components, including rainfall, flooding, drainage, water supply, and waste water, with the incorporation of sustainability practices in most of these components. Current textbooks in Hydrology and Hydraulics fail to incorporate sustainability features and practices, whereas there exist numerous books on general Sustainability that fail to integrate sustainability concepts into conventional engineering designs.

The book commences by exploring the components and classifications of global water resources, followed by a comprehensive exploration of the hydrologic cycle, climate change, and its profound implications on the hydrologic cycle. It delves into rainfall patterns and measurements, rainfall losses, derivations of design rainfalls, streamflow measurements, flood frequency analysis, probabilistic flood estimations, deterministic flood estimations, unit hydrograph, flood modeling, and more.
