Abstract in brief

Global urban water scarcity is expected to significantly increase from 2016 to 2050 due to factors like urbanization and climate change, with India experiencing the most substantial growth in water-scarce cities.
The number of large cities facing water shortages could rise dramatically, including an increase in megacities, threatening nearly half of the global urban population by 2050.
Many water scarcity issues can be alleviated through infrastructure investments, but such solutions may have environmental impacts that need careful consideration to avoid negative consequences.]
