Abstract

Water security is crucial to mitigate human-induced and climate change-related impacts on water resources. Previous studies on Sana'a's domestic water supply have raised safety, administration, and scarcity issues. However, a comprehensive water security assessment has not yet been conducted. This study uses the proposed Integrated Urban Water Security Index (IUWSI) framework to assess Sana'a's urban water security using human and environmental factors Five distinct parameters have been used to calculate (IUWSI) as a decision-making tool to prioritize and distinguish indicators affecting the five dimensions of urban water security: water supply, sanitation and hygiene, water economy, ecosystems, and governance and society. The proposed framework for measuring (IUWSI) in Sana’a city has revealed a low level of water security, with an overall index value of 1.43. This disappointing result indicates water security issues like limited access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation, and high-water pollution. The IUWSI framework helps water-insecure cities improve water supply management through logical and evidence-based decision-making.

城市水安全综合指数(IUWSI)在也门萨那的应用(以也门萨那为例)
水安全对于减轻人类活动和气候变化对水资源的影响至关重要。先前对萨那生活用水供应的研究提出了安全、管理和短缺问题。但是,尚未进行全面的水安全评价。本研究采用提出的综合城市水安全指数(IUWSI)框架,利用人类和环境因素对萨那的城市水安全进行评估。该框架使用了五个不同的参数来计算(IUWSI),作为决策工具,优先考虑和区分影响城市水安全五个维度的指标:供水、环境卫生和个人卫生、水经济、生态系统、治理和社会。建议的测量框架(IUWSI)显示萨那市的水安全水平较低,总指数为1.43。这一令人失望的结果表明了水安全问题,如获得安全饮用水的机会有限、卫生条件差和水污染严重。IUWSI框架帮助水不安全城市通过逻辑和基于证据的决策改善供水管理。

期刊介绍: Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system''s thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management. Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include: network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation; novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system; demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control; stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management; monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater; water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure); resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing; data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems; decision-support and informatic tools;...
