| Abstract | Indian cities are expected to grow exponentially, with the urban population increasing from 377 million in 2011 to 760 million in 2050. Consequently, cities are likely to face severe water risks as many are already highly water-stressed. An integrated approach for addressing the issues of urban water systems is inevitable for sustainable development. Several urban water management approaches have been devised to mitigate the water challenges, the most recent being water-sensitive and water-smart cities. This chapter explores the different urban water management paradigms and emphasises the need to adapt and adopt the concept of water-smart cities for the Indian context. The components of water-smartness have been formulated based on a literature review. This discussion is followed by an assessment of the water-smartness of Bhuj, a pioneer city for water management practices, located in an arid region of India. The chapter examines that the city fulfilled most criteria of water-smartness but lacked in digital innovations. Several other Indian cities face similar issues in the present times. The chapter concludes with suggestions to improve the water-smartness of Bhuj and highlights key takeaways from Bhuj’s experiences for other Indian cities. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. |
