Integrated urban water resources management

Abstract

The paper focuses on the organizational and institutional issues of water resources management strategies. It considers both as cross‐sectoral issues, and in terms of the communication and coordination of activities among all levels of sector agencies. It concentrates heavily on the economic aspects of planning for urban and other water use. Over the past few decades tremendous progress has been made in providing basic water supply and sanitation to the people of the world. Nevertheless, much remains to be accomplished. The only way of resolving this problem appears to be to make the current utilities more effective economically. The single most important policy improvement would be to ensure that each utility covers its operating costs as well as its capital costs by the economic pricing of water use.
