| description |
The objective of this document is to
provide guidance for managing the urban water cycle in a
sustainable manner, with a focus on cities in developing
countries. In doing so, the Bank is promoting a paradigm
shift to more holistic and sustainable management of urban
and water resources by applying an Integrated Urban Water
Management (IUWM) approach to the broad water challenges
commonly faced in developing country cities around the
world. IUWM is not a new concept; its principles have been
outlined elsewhere before and are referred to in a variety
of ways (Cities of the Future (IWA) or Water Sensitive
Cities (Wong 2009) and with different acronyms (Sustainable
Drainage Systems (SUDS), in the UK, or Water Sensitive Urban
Design (WSUD), in Australia). The objective of this guidance
note is not to add to the theoretical framework but to
provide practical references and recommendations for the
Bank and for other development practitioners working on the
issues of water in cities in developing countries. IUWM is
multi-sectorial in nature, and this note specifically
targets staff working in several Global Practices of the
Bank: Water (particularly urban Water Supply and Sanitation
(WSS) and Water Resources Management (WRM)), Urban
(particularly urban services provision, Disaster Risk
Management, and urban upgrading), Environment, and Climate
Change, as well as Social and Environmental Specialists
involved in the design and implementation of Bank projects.
A separate version of the Guidance Note will be published
for an external audience, aimed at Bank clients such as
municipal, central and regional governments, water
utilities, river basin authorities, urban planners, and
other relevant stakeholders and decision makers. After a
brief introduction to the concept of IUWM (section one),
this guidance notes profiles the different IUWM approaches
applied in three types of city: 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 Bank engagement under an IUWM
approach in a fast-growing city in a middle-income country
(Vitoria in Espirito Santo, Brazil). The final section of
the guidance note showcases a potential methodology for
applying an IUWM approach in a city, from the initial
engagement and diagnostic phases toward the application of a
full IUWM umbrella framework under which a program (or a
series of operational loans and analytical activities) can
be implemented. |
