Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Urban water-supply systems are increasingly burdened because of increase in population, economic growth, lifestyle changes and urbanization. Climate change puts additional pressure on the already stressed “urban water systems” by aggravating the challenges of water scarcity and water quality deterioration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Any growth in urban population is due to immigration or centripetal movements such as gentrification. Urban natural change is usually lower than rural areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Changes in the shape and size of urban streams, followed by decreased water quality, are the most visible effects of increased imperviousness. Greater frequency and severity of flooding, channel erosion, and destruction of aquatic habitat commonly follow watershed urbanization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transport plays a vital role in urban development. Transport systems provide essential mobility options for people and goods and influences patterns of growth and the level of economic activity through the accessibility it provides to land (Meyer and Miller [12]).
