Abstract
Water is one of the most essential resources for the humans and the ecosystems. However, the continued increase of population due to urbanization is causing a severe decline in the amount of available water resources. Urbanization has had many adverse effects on our environment. Cities replace natural vegetation with pavement for roads, buildings, and other structures necessary to accommodate growing populations. As a result of the urbanization, water and heat cycles are distorted, leading to many problems such as water scarcity, urban flood, groundwater depletion, and heat island phenomena. In addition, the temperature of urban area increases, resulting in an increase of energy consumption for cooling. Water management is one of main parts in energy consumption. It was reported that 2 to 3 % of total energy in the world is used to secure and supply of water resources.
