摘要:The increasing scarcity of fresh and clean water is one of the central issues of the century in context of growing population and urbanization. Imbalances between water availability and growing demand are a rising concern but our ability to accurately assess availability as well as demand put on this precious resource is quite limited. Issues related to water as resource, its accessibility, management, demand, consumption, wastage have been discussed in different literature. Present study explores various indicators, tools and models through literature review and identifies research opportunities to develop indicators for assessment of different dimensions related to urban water. The study would be useful for urban planners and researches engaged in urban water development.
