The report is an advocacy piece to raise awareness around the need to shift the typical way urban water has been managed and to share emerging principles and solutions that may improve urban water supply security in water scarce cities. It aims to promote successes, outline challenges and principles, and extract key lessons learned for future efforts. It builds on the experiences of over 20 water scarce cities and territories from five continents, which represent a diversity of situations and development levels. This report argues that WSS service providers, policy makers, and practitioners should look at their mandate and responsibilities in a new light, and seek to embrace integrated water resources management considerations. Drawing from successful experiences from around the world, it extracts several underlying management principles applied by effective utilities. The report then aims to demystify solutions to address urban water scarcity, comparing and contrasting related institutional, technological, economic and social aspects. It then concludes with cross-cutting considerations relevant to planners, water operators and policy makers of water scarce cities.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of flash floods to future climate change in the Amman–Zarqa Basin, Jordan. Historical daily rainfall and temperature data from 1970 to 2018 were collected, along with projected daily data derived from general circulation models (GCMs) forecast spanning 2019–2060. The methodology involved analyzing historical and model forecast data, conducting trend analysis, mapping changes in land use, estimating runoff volume, selecting indicators, assigning their weights through the analytical hierarchy process, and generating vulnerability maps. Analysis of precipitation trends revealed a 14.61% decrease in total annual rainfall over the past 48 years; however, future projections indicate a 5.26% increase. Downstream sub-catchments in the arid portion are projected to receive higher rainfall, while upstream sub-catchments are expected to experience a substantial decline, resulting in an overall reduction in runoff. Moreover, our findings demonstrate a rising trend in mean temperature, which is expected to persist. Remote sensing data indicate a 14.76% expansion of urban areas, indicative of rapid population growth. Although no highly vulnerable sub-catchments were identified, downstream sub-catchments 8 and 9 exhibited moderate vulnerability to flash floods, which can be attributed to the increase in rainfall and insufficient stormwater infrastructure.

In this paper, a comprehensive flood hazard map for the vicinity of King Talal Dam in Jordan, utilizing advanced remote sensing (RS) and GIS methodologies, is developed. Key geographical and environmental factors, encompassing terrain slope, elevation, aspect, proximity to water streams, drainage density, and land use/land cover, are integrated to highlight areas with increased flood risk. This study, by employing a novel theoretical approach, harnesses the synergistic capabilities of RS and GIS to collect and analyze geospatial data. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to assign weights to various flood-conditioning factors, quantifying their relative importance in flood risk assessment. Through the weighted sum overlay technique, the aforementioned factors are integrated to categorize flood risk levels from very low to very high. This study successfully maps flood hazards, identifying areas near main water channels, ravines, and lower-elevation areas prone to flooding. This research provides a robust framework for flood risk assessment, contributing valuable knowledge to the fields of environmental management and disaster mitigation. It underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and updating of flood hazard maps to accommodate changing land use, climate, and hydrological conditions. The innovative application offers crucial insights for urban planners and policymakers, emphasizing the need for proactive strategies in flood-prone areas and serving as a model for similar geographical regions.
