Abstract

Water supply and demand gap is a potential crisis situation for any metro city like Delhi. This situation can escalate during the times of disaster events due to their cascading effects damaging the water storage and supply network infrastructure. Under this study, integrated water management has been emphasized as a comprehensive approach to address the crisis during extreme events. The process of integrated water management is described not only from water management perspective but also from perspectives of disaster management and Sustainable Development Goals. Emphasis on technological and institutional reforms for efficient and effective implementation during disaster event has been given. Along with this, the role of community participation is also considered as an integral component to make the proposed integrated approach sustainable. Results of an impact assessment study on human lives, economic and environmental conditions can be used to create holistic response plans which subsequently may result in disaster risk reduction and thus increased resilience towards vulnerability in disaster scenarios.
