| Sažetak: | The objective of this article is to analyze the current water problem in cities and its consequences, when the water cycle (natural system) is not considered as the basis of urban planning and in the design of hydrosanitary systems (artificial system). This work shows that if the water cycle is ignored in urban planning, the immediate consequences are floods and water shortages. Moreover, the connection of new buildings to the urban hydrosanitary system, a ects its operation, producing an irregular water supply and deficient drainage services. Finally, previous to the urbanization process, this work proposes a preservation and restoration approach of the water cycle through the policies that ensure the implementation of sustainable technologies and the compliance with technical standards in order to ensure the proper function of the hydrosanitary system. The architecture and urbanism should be sensitive to the function of water in both systems (natural and artificial) to guarantee the life of present and future generations.
