Resumen:

This chapter describes the challenges to supply water services for cities in the future, considering the impacts of climate change. Many of these challenges will be present even in the absence of climate variation as they are also caused by population growth, types of development and the inefficient management of urban water worldwide. Options to address the problems identified are presented, highlighting those specifically linked to climate change adaptation or mitigation measures. One important aspect is the need to review the concept of urban water services as it has been made urgent by the need to properly manage water in cities. © Daniel A. Mazmanian and Hilda Blanco 2014.
