Abstract
Urban areas worldwide face water challenges due to population growth, climate change, and inadequate construction. To tackle these issues, cities are experimenting with green infrastructure, rainwater harvesting, and wastewater recycling, integrating local data and sustainable construction methods to mitigate water scarcity and increase resilience.
This paper discusses using natural data in urban water management to tackle water scarcity, flooding, and quality issues. It suggests that this data can improve urban practicality and human well-being by addressing shared urban areas and the physical environment. Implementing natural enhancements like water harvesting, floodplain management, and shared filtration systems can enhance water quality and resilience. This approach improves residents' quality of life and creates sustainable, resilient urban environments for future generations.
The paper seeks coordination and collaboration with global organizations and governments to develop and manage climate change actions using innate water data. Local water data can help address urban water issues by finding missing standards and highlighting clear frameworks, thereby addressing broader urban water challenges by promoting climate-positive adaptation and mitigation approaches and engaging with global organizations.
