Water management

Resilient water supply and sanitation infrastructure in urban and rural areas

Resilient water and sanitation infrastructure refers to systems that ensure safe, continuous service delivery in urban and rural areas, even under climate crises or social pressures. It integrates adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable solutions.

How this solution relates to the action agenda

Axis: Building Resilience for Cities, Infrastructure and Water

Key Objective: Water management

Why it matters

Resilience in water and sanitation infrastructure is essential to address extreme events such as droughts and floods, which disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. Robust systems reduce risks to public health, economic losses, and disruptions to essential services. Incorporating resilience principles enables greater adaptability and sustainability in the face of climate change and accelerated urbanization.
