摘要

Urbanization significantly transforms natural landscapes, intensifying pressures on water resources through increased impervious surfaces, declining groundwater recharge, and outdated infrastructure. To overcome the impacts that urbanization leaves on the water bodies, there has been development in various sustainable practices, and mitigation measures are taken across the globe. To understand in depth, this study attempted a systematic literature review. This literature review synthesizes global and Indian research on the impacts of urbanization on water systems, highlighting sustainable practices, mitigation strategies, and technological interventions. Drawing on studies from cities like Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad, it underscores the need for integrated modeling, green infrastructure, and community engagement. The findings offer critical insights into how mitigation strategies, modeling approaches, and governance mechanisms can support resilient urban water management, particularly in rapidly developing contexts like India.
