2. Introduction Urban water management is critical as cities grow and face challenges like pollution, flooding, and inefficient drainage. Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) for clean water and sanitation ensures healthier, sustainable urban living through integrated, innovative solutions. Effective water systems improve public health, reduce environmental risks, and support urban resilience.

3. Sustainable Urban Water Management Challenges 01

4. Urban Water Issues and Impact Rapid urbanization causes water pollution, flooding, and drainage failures. Poor water planning leads to health risks from contaminated water and disease spread. Flooding disrupts ecosystems and property, while leaky water systems waste valuable resources. Addressing these problems is essential for sustainable and livable cities.

5. Significance of SDG 6 for Cities SDG 6 promotes access to clean water and sanitation, crucial as urban populations and water demands grow. Sustainable water systems protect health, prevent flooding, and conserve resources. Meeting SDG 6 requires integrated strategies to improve water quality, quantity, and distribution across expanding urban environments.

6. Secure and Dependable Water Supply A resilient water distribution network is vital for sustainability. Using durable materials like PVC, CPVC, and HDPE ensures sanitary water supply with minimal leaks. Advanced systems support continuous access to potable water in urban and rural settings, enhancing city health and water security.

7. Consequences of Poor Water System Management Poorly managed urban water systems lead to significant public health risks, such as the spread of diseases including cholera, typhoid, and dengue due to contaminated water. Flooding from inadequate drainage disrupts property and ecosystems, while leaks and inefficient distribution waste precious freshwater. These issues highlight the urgent need for integrated urban water management to ensure sustainable, livable cities.

8. Key Elements of Sustainable Urban Water Management 02

9. Secure and Dependable Water Supply A sustainable city depends on a robust water distribution network utilizing durable materials like PVC, CPVC, and HDPE pipes. These ensure sanitary, corrosion-resistant supply lines that minimize leaks. Advanced systems support continuous potable water access in urban and rural settings, promoting public health and resilience through reliable infrastructure solutions.

10. Effective Drainage and Wastewater Management Effective drainage prevents flooding and contamination while supporting sanitation. Solutions like Double Wall Corrugated pipes and Eco-Drain systems reduce blockages, resist root intrusion, and withstand heavy traffic. Proper drainage design improves urban resilience by managing waterlogging and extreme weather impacts, securing long-term public health and infrastructure reliability.

11. Stormwater Management and Water Storage Changing rainfall patterns demand advanced stormwater systems to capture, store, and redirect runoff safely. Using layered wall pipes and DWC systems, cities can control high flow rates and resist chemical and soil pressures. Combined with underground and overhead storage tanks, plus rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling, these systems enhance water security and flood risk reduction.

12. Conclusions Sustainable urban water management requires secure supply, effective drainage, stormwater control, and adequate water storage infrastructure. Integrated, durable, and innovative solutions are essential priorities for cities striving to meet SDG 6 and protect public health. With proper planning and maintenance, urban centers can achieve water resilience, environmental protection, and sustainable development goals.
