| description |
The impact of climate change is
increasingly important for the design, construction, and
maintenance of water sector infrastructure. Average global
temperatures are on the rise, causing cycles of extreme
weather: droughts and flooding are becoming common; seawater
levels are rising; and many locations are considerably
drier, impacting water sources such as lakes and rivers.
Groundwater supplies are under stress due to decreasing
precipitation rates and increasing extraction rates. Urban
water systems must meet the demands of expanding industry
needs and rapid population growth. Pollution adds to the
growing threats to water resources, increasing treatment
requirements for providing safe water to city residents.
With two-thirds of the world's megacities located in
regions that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change, urban water utilities are facing an increasing need
to improve the management of water resources and associated
infrastructure. Diversifying sources of water supply will
become increasingly important whether through the
construction of new storage facilities, the appropriate and
sustainable extraction of groundwater, water trading or
conservation, or the use of recycled or desalinated water.
This water note, based on the input of 20 large utilities
around the world presents the perceptions, experiences, and
approaches to addressing climate related challenges of urban
areas in developing, middle income, and developed countries. |
