Abstract:
Background/Objective: The paper reviews water systems management and
land use planning at the global scale. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The
sources of data for this paper are purely secondary. Findings: From the review,
it was deduced that there is substantial literature on water systems and land use
planning. In addition, it was inferred that, so far much attention has been given
to the relationship that exists between urban development and surface water
quality. Applications/Improvements: This study concluded by emphasizing the
need for attention to be given to the institutional aspect relating to the issue of
integration, by looking at the loopholes of the frameworks for the management
of surface water and land use planning which over the years have received
little attention.
