Water management: a comparative analysis on water policies between Cape Town (2018) and Monterrey (2022)

Abstract

Despite its importance as an essential element for sustaining ecosystems, water shortages in large cities are becoming more common each year due to weak infrastructure. The split between its importance and the lack of resilience measures is worrisome because prolonged water scarcity increases existing inequalities. Therefore, case studies of cities that have experienced water scarcity can provide information on how to prevent this scenario in the future.
