UNESCO Chair on Groundwater

Research problem and study implications

 Lack of implementation of WSUD principles in urban

cities that have rural characteristics especially in developing countries.

 Generate urban groundwater information which will help

strengthen planning of water sensitive urban cities with rural characteristics.
