Features: Cities are concentrated areas of high-intensity human activities within a basin or region, exhibiting highly unique hydrological characteristics and water resource features. With urbanization, urban water issues (including water scarcity, flood disasters, and water pollution) have become particularly prominent. This book attempts to elaborate on the theory, methods, and practice of "Urban Water Resource Carrying Capacity," scientifically addressing the questions: "Under certain conditions, how much urban scale can limited water resources actually support? How can sustainable water resource utilization and benign ecological cycles be ensured?" It provides a quantitative research framework and methodology for urban hydrology and water resources research, urban water resource planning and management, and the formulation of urban development strategies. This book is suitable for scientific researchers and management personnel in fields such as water conservancy, environmental protection, geography, water resource planning and management, and related disciplines. It can also serve as a reference for students and faculty in universities and colleges specializing in hydrology and water resources, urban water affairs management, urban planning, environmental engineering, environmental science, and water supply and drainage engineering.
