The Effects of the Water Management Situation on the Sensitivity of the Inland Water Harvest in the Cities

Abstract

The strengthening of extreme water management situations associated with climate change also calls for a change of attitude in municipal water management. In the area responsibility of ATIVIZIG the paved surfaces in the settlements have been increased, deep-seated areas are become built-in, thus increasing the inland excess water threat of the settlements. By studying the literature and analyzing available data of ATIVIZIG it is possible to show the trends of the anthropogenic impacts, as example the development of the water utility works and their impact on the inland excess water situation in the settlements. Global climate change is predicting growth of the drought risk in the South Great Plain. By establishing a "drain-centered" water networks, the ground under the settlements will suffer from a water scarcity in water deficiency period. Simultaneously there is expected an increased worse situation of inland excess water where peak waters from downtown are led into the regional water systems and capacity problems occurs. The implementation of complex approaches gets important in urban water management and the rainwater management becomes necessary at individual and municipal level.
