Managing water sustainably to achieve urban water security
This chapter first defines what sustainability and sustainable development are and then discusses differing approaches to sustainability. It introduces sustainable water management frameworks to achieve water security: integrated water resources management (IWRM) at the river basin level and integrated urban water management (IUWM) at the urban level. The chapter describes how IUWM can achieve urban water security. The concept of sustainability, post‐Brundtland, has spread throughout a variety of policy areas including urban policy. The major challenge of urban sustainability is to ensure economic, social and environmental sustainability now and into the medium & long term future. Natural resources management frameworks provide a theoretical foundation of how knowledge is generated for the purpose of effectively managing a natural resource. The frameworks for managing urban water sustainably that are common internationally include water sensitive urban design (WSUD), low impact development (LID) and low impact urban design and development (LIUDD).
