Efficient and equitable water, wastewater and stormwater management
for the megacities is becoming an increasingly complex task. The
special issue will focus on water management in its totality for
megacities, including their technical, social, economic, legal,
institutional and environmental dimensions through a series of
specially invited case studies from different megacities of the
world. At present, around one out of two of the earth's 6.3 billion
people live in urban areas. Each year, the world population grows
by around 80 millions. Practically all of this growth is urban,
primarily due to migration. World's urban population is expected to
reach 5 billion by 2030, which is nearly 2/3rd more than in 2000,
and would mean that 60% of world's population will live in urban
areas. The case studies analysed include some of the most
interesting and challenging megacities of this planet, Dhaka,
Istanbul, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mexico City, Riyadh and Sao Paulo.
They assess different aspects of how water is intermingled in the
overall development milleau. The special issue will considers the
magnitudes, nature and extent of the present and future challenges
and how these could be meet in socially acceptable and
cost-effective ways. The contributors are all acknowledged water
experts from different parts of the world. This book was previously
published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water
Resource s Development.
