Urban Water Sustainability Development: A Systematic Literature Review

As the earth's regenerative capacity and renewable resources are limited due to climate change, water scarcity is expected to increase significantly over the next two decades. An overview of sustainable urban water indicators is provided in this study, as are suggestions for future research scope. The review has focused on different use cases of urban water like footprint, artificial intelligence, and decision-making. A total of 31 papers were selected based on their Q1 and Q2 journal rankings. FUZZY, AHP, TOPSIS, and PSR models are the most popular models deployed to assess and formulate indicators for sustainable urban water. This paper contributes to the understanding of water sustainability relationships by identifying commonly used attributes and discussing possible interest in methods and fields. We also discussed how to manage sustainable urban water within urban water management conceptualizations attributed to climate change changes and its role in enhancing sustainable planning. The review also provides direction for managing sustainable urban water practices that can benefit managers, government agencies, and stakeholders.
