Abstract:Urban areas face significant challenges in managing water resources sustainably due to rapid population growth, climate change, and urbanization. Conventional grey infrastructure alone is often insufficient to cope with the increasing water demand and handle stormwater runoff effectively. Integrating green infrastructure with grey infrastructure offers a promising approach to enhance water resource management in urban environments. This paper examines the benefits and challenges of adopting such an integrated approach, highlights successful case studies, and proposes strategies for widespread implementation.
