As the entire globe is focusing on sustainable development goals ensuring zero carbon operations industries by 2050, the chapter explores the imperious aspects between zero carbon principles and the urban water sector, examining the challenges, opportunities, and prospects. It commences with the fundamental concepts of zero carbon industry (ZCI) and its triggering acquaintances with environmental sustainability, emphasising their significance in tackling water-related concerns in metropolitan areas. It then describes the sampled impediments that hinder the effective implementation of zero carbon in the urban water sector, containing infrastructural limitations, technical gaps, public perception barriers and regulatory challenges. Moreover, the chapter highlights several abundant potentials for embracing zero carbon industrialisation, such as resource recovery, water recycling and reuse, deployment of sustainable infrastructure, collaborative partnerships, and the achievement of industry advantages. Furthermore, it scrutinises disruptive, contemporary technologies that are poised to transform the urban water environment by accenting the mobilisation of zero Carbonite and the optimisation of water sources. This chapter envisions potential developments for zero-carbon initiatives in the urban water sector, accentuating the need for more research, policy development, and strategic interventions to support sustainable water management practices. This chapter stresses the substance of collaborative efforts, progress, and continuous advances in ZCI principles. To conclude, it draws significant critical insights obtained from the study and best practices from successful ZCI and urban water campaigns to address challenges, maximise opportunities, and pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable urban water future.
