Abstract

Rapid urbanization due to population migration to cities has led to various natural hazards in recent decades. Urbanization has various consequences such as flooding, reduced recharge surface due to construction, pollution of water resources, etc. In this study, we investigated the effects of urbanization on water resources globally. Here, we documented the effects of urbanization on hydrological processes. The result shows that urbanization enhances flooding, over-extraction of groundwater, increase in impervious surfaces due to construction, water pollution, and the degradation of water quality due to the accumulation of pollutants derived from industrial and agricultural activities, waste disposal, and sewage. This study mainly highlights the importance of sustainable water management to protect and conserve water resources in urban areas.
