Abstract
The purpose of the research is to determine the amount of surface runoff formation in the cities of the northern Kazakhstan region and to improve the urban environment quality with rational use of surface runoff of meltwater and rainwater. The goal is achieved by analyzing the features of atmospheric water management on the example of the city of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Ecosystem solutions in the field of integrated management of surface wastewater as a measure of adaptation to climate change are considered. The atmospheric runoff level is analyzed, an integrated approach to surface runoff management and a nature-oriented landscape for decentralized water resources management are proposed. A project has been designed for city safety and mobility. Indeed, in recent years, the spread of sustainable development approaches and the transition to a “green” economy has led to a change in the basic concepts of territorial management of natural resources and environmental protection. This is caused by the fact that the ecosystem approach has become widely used in the management of biological and physical systems. The ecosystem approach is based on the idea that all ecosystem components are closely interconnected, and changes in one component can lead to negative consequences for the others. In this way, the ecosystem approach helps to ensure more efficient use of resources, improve the quality of life of the population, and protect the environment.
