| Summary: | This note provides guidance for cities
in developing countries for managing the urban water cycle
in a sustainable manner by using an Integrated Urban Water
Management (IUWM) approach. After a brief introduction to
the concept of IUWM, this note profiles the different IUWM
approaches applied in three types of cities: a water-scarce,
fast-developing city (Windhoek, Namibia), an expanding city
subject to climate extremes (Melbourne, Australia) and a
dense flood-prone city (Rotterdam, the Netherlands). It also
profiles an example of World Bank engagement under an IUWM
approach in a fast-growing city in a middle-income country
(Vitoria in Espírito Santo, Brazil). The final section
showcases a potential methodology for applying an IUWM
approach in a city, from the initial engagement and
diagnostic phases towards the application of a full IUWM
umbrella framework under which a program can be implemented. |
