Abstract Water scarcity in urban areas like Coimbatore, India, is a major issue due to factors like groundwater decline, pollution, and climate change. To reduce anxiety, residents are adopting affordable technology and climate adaptation solutions. A study analysed the relationship between climate adaptation readiness and eco-anxiety. The study examines the correlation between climate adaptation readiness and eco-anxiety in urban populations in high-risk water zones, particularly in Coimbatore, India, a region increasingly vulnerable to severe water scarcity. Eco-anxiety can act as driving force for proactive behaviour, which makes individuals to engage in climate adaptive solution with the aid of advanced technologies. A mixed method approach involving quantitative and qualitative surveys are used to measure levels of eco-anxiety and Climate adaptation readiness, and qualitative interviews to understand lived experiences and adapted solutions with advanced technologies. The study analyses data from interviews to understand the impact of eco-anxiety on climate-adaptive behaviours in high-risk water zones, identify proactive measures, and explore the potential of advanced technology. The study suggests integrating policy approaches, including mental health support, behaviour change strategies, and advanced technologies like gamified conservation apps, to address eco-anxiety and promote climate resilience, especially in high-risk water zones.
