| description |
By 2030, Africa's urban population
will double, and the difficulties African cities currently
face in providing sustainable water services will be
exacerbated. 'The future of water in African cities:
why waste water?' argues that the traditional approach
of one source, one system, and one discharge cannot close
the water gap. A more integrated, sustainable, and flexible
approach, which takes into account new concepts such as
water fit to a purpose, is needed in African cities. The
book provides examples of cities in Africa and beyond that
have already implemented Integrated Urban Water Management
(IUWM) approaches both in terms of technical and
institutional solutions. Case studies explore the ways in
which IUWM can help meet future water demand in African
cities. Recent work carried out by Bahri (2012) on IUWM for
the Global Water Partnership has also emphasized the
necessity to examine the challenges posed by urban sprawl
for urban planners and to recognize the need for coordinate,
response, and sustainable resource management across
sectors, sources, services and scales. The World Bank has
recognized a need for an integrated approach to urban water
management. As part hereof the issue has come to the
forefront: What is the specific character of the water
challenge in African cities and how can we compare the
severity of the challenge, the need for integrated approach
and the local capacity to respond to these challenges? The
study presented in this companion volume is an initial
attempt to answer this question. |
