Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM)
The traditional business-as-usual approach to urban water management has locked-in urban development paths with large-scale infrastructure and technology
The emerging IUWM approach represents a change of paradigm from a traditional set of technologies towards a synergic urban-water relationship
Components of the project:
Sustainable urban development: (i) Balance densification and impervious areas; (ii) planning of green spaces linked to urban water management; (iii) restrictions and economic incentives to protect of municipal water basin; (iv) incentives for the construction of green buildings
Preservation of water supply sources: (i) Regulate and enforce land use in the water basin; (ii) use of command-and-control mechanisms, economic incentives, payment for environmental services; (iii) increase diversity of water sources within city and catchment (e.g., rainwater, groundwater, wastewater reuse)
Conservation and efficiency of water use by controlling demand: (i) Metering water use; (ii) use of a sustainable tariff structure; (iii) reduction of financial and physical losses; (iv) incentives for new appliances and equipment to reduce demand; (v) incentives for water reuse; (vi) education for water use
Improvement of sanitation services: (i) Incentives for household connections; (ii) incentives for industrial and agriculture reuse; (iii) reuse in urban irrigation of green spaces; (v) decentralized wastewater treatment systems
Sustainable storm water management: (i) On-site measures of infiltration and green building practices; (ii) storage and reduction of runoff; (iii) good practices to improve water quality; (iv) rules and practices integrated to urban land use and environment
Sustainable solid waste and sediment control management: (i) Implementation of recycling practices; (ii) implementation of charging for the service by volume or weight in order to decrease waste; (iii) control of civil construction waste; (iv) control of sediments in construction sites; (v) disincentives for the use of plastic bags and plastic containers
Institutional practices: (i) Integration of services in one institution; (ii) development of master plans (urban, water, sanitation); (iii) revision of building codes; (iv) stimulate cost recovery practices; (v) enforceable laws and regulations; (vi) environmental certification; (vii) public participation; (viii) capacity building.
