Abstract: The expansion of urban areas, driven by population growth and economic activities, places significant pressure on water resources, affecting both quality and quantity. Furthermore, climate change alters rainfall patterns, leading to more frequent and intense events in many cities. This increases the risk of flooding and water pollution, as drainage systems become more frequently exceeded and impervious surfaces rise.
