| Summary: | Effective management of urban water should be based on a scientific understanding of the impact of human activity on both the urban hydrological cycle -- including its processes and interactions -- and the environment itself. Such anthropogenic impacts, which vary broadly in time and space, need to be quantified with respect to local climate, urban development, cultural, environmental and religious practices, and other socio-economic factors. This publication includes a concluding series of recommendations for effective urban water management summarizing the findings set forth here.--Publisher's description. |
