This

volume focuses on practical aspects of sustainable water management in urban

areas and presents a discussion of key concepts, methodologies, and case

studies of innovative and evolving technologies. Topics include: (1) challenges

in urban water resiliency; (2) water and energy nexus; (3) integrated urban

water management; and (4) water reuse options (black water, gray water,

rainwater). This volume serves as a useful reference for students and

researchers involved in holistic approaches to water management, and as a

valuable guide to experts in governmental agencies as well as planners and

engineers concerned with sustainable water management systems in urban

environments.
