In the world’s most developed countries, urban planners are increasingly emphasizing the need to adopt environmental concepts that integrate water management; this guarantees human and environmental rights, and also the sustainable use of natural resources. We based our research on previous studies related to urban environmental management; these studies emphasize the weak cognitive integration in many aspects of the research. Our research aims to show how urban environmental planning impacts sustainable water management, with further implications for community viability. When dealing with the impact of climate change, it is necessary for urban water management departments to engage community participation. Our hope is that this research prompts decision makers to educate their communities, particularly those individuals who are interested in water management, thereby closing the gap between the views held by water specialists and the urban residents. We used field surveys and data collection for our analysis, and we created a questionnaire for distribution across different community samples. We were able to test for compatibility between respondents’ opinions, and how strongly these opinions impacted urban environmental management trends in the study area. We also measured the interconnection between respondents' opinions and water management.
