Abstract Summary
With climate change, extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent. These changes directly affect water security, requiring urgent adaptation actions in urban systems to reduce emissions and promote resilience. Measures to enhance water availability and combat climate change are embedded within a legal and institutional framework, which aligns with international agreements and stakeholders engaged in water management. Therefore, an integrated and coordinated approach between water, sanitation, and climate change is essential. In this context, the One Water approach emerges, based on the principle that urban waters are interconnected within a watershed system. This approach is also linked to resource recovery, such as nutrients and energy, forming the One Water/resource recovery system. This study aims to explore trends and concepts related to integrated water management, emphasizing its interactions with climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Publications from 1982 to 2024 were analyzed using the Scopus database and VosViewer software, with a particular focus on the last ten years. A total of 2,855 documents were identified from 1982 to 2015, while 1,471 publications were selected from 2015 to 2024. The results highlight the growing relevance of terms such as "integrated approach" and "water governance." Successfully implementing this vision requires strong stakeholder collaboration and continuous innovation in water management practices.
