Water resources and related ecosystems are under threat from pollution, unsustainable use, land‐use changes, climate change and other forces. Cities are at risk of water insecurity from numerous challenges including rapid population growth and urbanisation, economic growth and rising income levels and increased demand for energy and food impacting the availability of good quality water of sufficient quantity. Climate change is due to natural internal processes such as solar cycles, volcanic eruptions and anthropogenic activities that change the composition of the atmosphere. Non‐climatic and climatic challenges pose four specific water risks to achieving urban water security: risk of shortage, risk of inadequate quality, risk of excess and risk of undermining the resilience of natural water systems. Water managers can use a risk management framework to create or enhance resiliency of the water system to uncertainty from non‐climatic and climatic changes to achieve urban water security.
