Integrated urban water resources management strategy for a smart city in India

Economic growth of any nation like India depends on growth of cities. In India 31% of the total population exists in urban areas. The smart city mission of India was established with the objective to deliver the basic requirements of the citizens in a sustainable manner. Madurai city located at Peni...
