Urban waterscapes are at the temperament of sustainable urban design but face significant threat from heightened urban growth, climate change, growing population levels, and unmaintainable consumption of resources. These are manifested in the form of heightened scarcity of water, pollution, ecosystem degradation, unequal distribution, environmental exposure to weather extremes such as floods and droughts. While that is happening, the interconnection of water with energy, food, health, and urban ecosystems makes governance and management very complex. Traditional water infrastructure, ideally planned with a focus on proficiency, falls short in developing resilient and adaptive cities. New methods such as integrated urban water management (IUWM), water-sensitive urban design (WSUD), citizen science, nature-based solutions, and application of remote sensing, GIS, and AI offer new possibility to boost pliability. This book scrutinizes the intricate encounters of urban waterscapes critically and offers directions for future elasticity, highlighting innovation in governance, technology, community, and ecological refurbishment. The dialogue emphasizes the necessity for transdisciplinary thinking, circular economy, and participatory water management to safeguard that waterscapes in cities evolve as forces of sustainability, equity, and suppleness in emerging cities.
