Abstract
This chapter focuses on the importance of water management for the sustainability of future cities. Water is essential for life and work within the cities. However, focusing on water management only inside the city will not tell us how it may be rendered part of a sustainable system. Each city takes water from the region surrounding it, and discharges it back into the world outside its borders. The appropriate perspective, therefore, is to consider the role of cities in sustainable water management on a regional scale.
