Integrating the latest developments in urban water hydrology and management, Urban Water Engineering and Management takes a system approach to urban water hydrology, engineering, planning, and management, supplying examples and case studies, and highlighting pressing issues such as urban water governance, disaster management, and climate change impacts on urban areas. This expanded and updated edition draws attention to climate change how it impacts the water cycle. Time-series analysis is simplified in a practical manner, and hydro-informatics principles and applications in urban water are also added as unique features of this edition. Written and designed especially for intermediate and advanced courses/modules in water resources in civil and environmental engineering, and in urban planning, this book can be used as a textbook for civil engineering, urban and regional planning, geography, environmental science, and in courses dealing with the urban water cycle.

Features:

- Is updated throughout and adds numerous new examples and case studies, addressing critical issues such as urban water governance, asset and disaster management, and the impacts of climate change on urban areas.

- Integrates the latest developments in urban water hydrology and management, providing a holistic system perspective on urban water engineering, and planning.

- Includes numerous examples, case studies, and technological and IT tools addressing critical issues such as urban water governance, asset and disaster management, and the impacts of climate change on urban areas.

- Offers new insights for engineers, policy-makers, and decision-makers, emphasizing the importance of integrated water management and planning solutions for sustainable urban development.

Mohammad Karamouz is a professor at the University of Tehran and a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of New York. He is an internationally known water resources engineer and consultant to both private and public agencies such as UNESCO and the World Bank. He is the former dean of engineering at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He is also a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and a diplomat of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. Dr. Karamouz received his BS in civil engineering from Shiraz University, his MS in water resources and environmental engineering from George Washington University, and his PhD in hydraulics and systems engineering from Purdue University. Among many professional positions and achievements, he also serves on a number of task committees for the ASCE. In his academic career spanning 35years, he has held positions as a tenured professor at Pratt Institute (Schools of Engineering and Architecture in Brooklyn), at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, and at Tehran Polytechnic in Iran. He was a visiting professor in the Department of Hydrology and Water Resources at the University of Arizona, Tucson, 2000–2003, and a research professor and Director of Environmental Engineering Program at the Polytechnic Institute of NYU, 2009–2014. He was also the founder and former president of Arch Construction and Consulting Co. Inc. in New York City in 1986 for over ten years. This company was the leading planning firm in Queens. NY during that time and was engaged in a major capacity building among young engineers and architects. His teaching and research interests include integrated water resources planning and management, flood resilient cities, groundwater and surface water hydrology and pollution, systems analysis and design, urban environmental systems management, DEM and Satellite data error analysis and downscaling, environmental visualization including image processing, pattern recognition, and data assimilation. He has more than 350 research and scientific publications, books, and book chapters to his credit, including five text books: Water Resources System Analysis published by Lewis Publishers in 2003 Urban Water Engineering and Management (2010), and Hydrology & Hydroclimatology (2012), Groundwater Hydrology (1st ed. 2011 and 2nd ed. 2020), and Water Systems Analysis, Design, and Planning: Urban Infrastructure (2022) published by CRC Press. He also coauthored a book entitled Urban Water Cycle Processes and Interactions published by Taylor & Francis Group in 2008, and was the editor of the book entitled the Livable Cities of the Future (2014) published, in collaboration with the National Academy of Engineers (NAE) by the National Academies Press in Washington, D.C. Professor Karamouz serves internationally as a consultant to both private and governmental agencies, such as UNESCO and the World Bank. In 2017, he received the year distinguished researcher award of the University of Tehran. Dr. Karamouz is the recipient of the 2013 ASCE Service to the Profession, 2018 ASCE Arid Land Hydraulic Engineering and 2022 ASCE Julian Hinds Awards.

During my academic career as a professor and in conviction of my personal life, I have received help and encouragement from so many people that it is not possible to name them all. To all of you, I express my deepest gratitude. There were a few including some colleagues that have tried to stop or discourage me. I am grateful to them too because without them I could not be so determined to improvise. Books are companions along the journey of learning, and I hope that despite AI interventions, you will be able to use this book in your own exploration of the field of urban water engineering and planning. Have a wonderful journey.
