Project outline, Management and Organisation Page 14 Conventional versus integrated approach to urban water management STRATEGIC PLANNING – Preparing for the future Chapter 3 – Sustainable water management and IUWM www.switchtraining.eu Aspect of urban water management Conventional approachIntegrated approach Overall approachIntegration is by accidentPhysical and institutional integration is by design Collaboration with stakeholdersCollaboration = public relationsCollaboration = engagement Choice of infrastructureInfrastructure is made of concrete, metal or plastic Infrastructure can also be green Management of stormwaterStormwater is a constraintStormwater is a resource Management of human wasteHuman waste is collected, treated and disposed of Human waste is a resource Management of water demandinvestment in new supply sources and infrastructure Other options are given priority over developing new resources Choice of technological solutionsComplexity is neglected and standard engineering solutions are employed Diverse solutions and new management strategies

15. Project outline, Management and Organisation Page 15 Integrated approaches to urban water management Stormwater is attenuated and retained using natural systems Wastewater is separated at source and reused Reducing water demand is given priority over increasing supply Innovative solutions are encouraged Physical and institutional integration in the management of the water cycle (Based on Mitchell, 2004) STRATEGIC PLANNING – Preparing for the future Chapter 3 – Sustainable water management and IUWM www.switchtraining.eu

16. Project outline, Management and Organisation Page 16 Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) IUWM requires the consideration of: All parts of the water cycle as an integrated system The need to strive for sustainability All water users and other relevant stakeholders All water uses All local specificities (Based on Mitchell, 2004) STRATEGIC PLANNING – Preparing for the future Chapter 3 – Sustainable water management and IUWM www.switchtraining.eu
