The emergence of the city was associated with the need to organize water use, organize irrigation works, create its facilities, which in turn required the management of the organization of these works and the creation of facilities for the exploitation of water in agriculture. Finding an average balance between demand and availability of resources was a priority, especially for areas experiencing water shortages. Then, the reliability of available resources in conditions of drought or shortage became a key issue in order to cope with climate variability. In parallel, climate change will affect the spatial distribution and timing of water availability. As a result, in the future, water shortage in cities may become a much more serious problem, which may jeopardize the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially "Sustainable Cities and Communities". Historically, since settlements were located some distance from water sources, a variety of sources and technologies for collection, transportation, treatment and waste collection emerged. Population growth and technological developments have led to the emergence of new forms of alternative resources capable of meeting the needs and specific requirements of water-related activities.

The article examines the principles of developing micro-districts and settlements for individual housing construction. It emphasizes the integration of environmental, innovative, and social aspects into the design and planning processes of such areas. These measures not only enhance the comfort and safety of living but also significantly reduce operational costs, thereby making projects more economically viable. The focus is on the necessity of a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the planning and development of infrastructure in areas designated for individual housing construction. The article also addresses issues related to the infrastructure of micro-districts designed for individual residential development. By analyzing existing practices, it has been found that contemporary urban planning approaches are increasingly oriented toward creating sustainable and comfortable urban environments. A comprehensive analysis of the problem has enabled the identification of the essential components of infrastructure for areas intended for individual housing development. The article underscores that achieving sustainable development in such territories can only be attained through clear regulation of various indicators characterizing these areas.

The water sector in Syria suffers from longstanding problems and faces many challenges in terms of water supply and quality sanitation. These challenges include water scarcity, increasing water demand due to population growth and conflicts in the region, rapid urbanization, water pollution, limited access to drinking water and sanitation in rural areas, inefficient water distribution system in addition to constant network failures, as well as lack of financial resources, inefficient water pricing system and methods, cost recovery and asset management. As a result, the need for a significant quantitative increase and qualitative improvement of engineering infrastructure facilities (water supply and sanitation systems) and parts of distribution networks, in addition to the technical capabilities and development of resource management methods, which in turn leads to improved management of water supply and sanitation systems and the welfare of the population in the region, clearly becomes apparent.

The development, development and reorganization of territories for civil construction projects is often associated with problems of control and protection against erosion processes. Territories previously considered inconvenient are now subject to intensive development. The investment attractiveness of such territories is very high, so it is necessary to carry out engineering preparation measures, including those to protect it from erosion processes. Studies show that the most environmentally friendly structures to prevent erosion processes are geocomposite systems created on the basis of anti-erosion geosynthetic materials. But before applying any measures to stabilize erosion processes, it is necessary to understand the process of interaction between the methods used and the surfaces to be protected. The article considers the zoning of coastal slopes, as the most vulnerable to the impact of erosion of territories in cities, on non-flooded, partially flooded and permanently flooded zones. Accordingly, this division was made in order to determine the possible impacts on the structures of geocomposite systems. Each impact (hydraulic, snow, ice) is described using mathematical modeling, indicating methods for calculating the stability of the geocomposite system for the zones identified in the study. It has been established that the strength of a geocomposite system also affects its stability, therefore, when determining the overall stability of a geocomposite system, the concept of its tensile strength is introduced. The presented materials are of great importance in practical application. This is due to the reduction of material and labor costs for the implementation of anti-erosion protection measures when applying the results of this study. Further research is aimed at optimizing the design of anti-erosion protection based on geocomposite systems in order to organize their mass production and create standard industrial designs.

The use of clayey soils in the construction of subgrade allows to reduce the use of sandy soils, thereby reducing the number of quarries formed. However, this requires the implementation of constructive measures aimed at ensuring reliability, strength and safety. One of the ways to implement such activities is the use of geosynthetic materials. In the article, based on the experience of designing and building objects with geosynthetic materials, the criteria for choosing their types depending on the tasks being solved are established. The necessity of developing a mathematical model substantiating the decisions taken is considered. The obligatory organization and conduct of geotechnical control is noted as a tool to determine the directions for the development of this area of ​​construction in order to reduce the technogenic load on the territories associated with the withdrawal of natural resources.
