After a brief introduction to the concept of IUWM, this note profiles the different IUWM approaches applied in three types of cities: 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 World Bank engagement under an IUWM approach in a fast-growing city in a middle-income country (Vitoria in Espírito Santo, Brazil). The final section showcases a potential methodology for applying an IUWM approach in a city, from the initial engagement and diagnostic phases towards the application of a full IUWM umbrella framework under which a program can be implemented.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOWATER QUALITYWATER SERVICESURBAN COMMUNITIESLOCAL AUTHORITIESWATER ASSOCIATIONSOLID WASTE DISPOSALSANITATION SERVICEQUALITY OF WATERURBAN GROWTHWASTE MANAGEMENTSANITATION SERVICE PROVIDERSTOWN PLANNINGSANITATION BOARDWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWATER COMPANYWATER SECTORWATER SYSTEMSSEWERAGE NETWORKWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWATER SUPPLYOPERATIONAL EXPENDITURESWATER RESOURCECOST SHARINGSOLID WASTE COLLECTIONURBAN WATERWATER SHORTAGESSURFACE WATERWATER BOARDSEWERAGE SERVICESTOWNSWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER BOARDSWATER RESOURCESMUNICIPALITIESWATER SYSTEMWATER STORAGEPROPERTY OWNERSDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMWASTEWATER TREATMENTSEWERAGE CORPORATIONSANITATION UTILITYLOCAL WATER UTILITIESCOST RECOVERYPOPULATION GROWTHMETROPOLITAN AREASWATER USEWATERMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTSTATE WATER COMPANYRAW WATERSUSTAINABLE WATERFINANCIAL VIABILITYSERVICE PROVIDERWATER DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC WATERSERVICE PROVISIONWATER SCARCITYPOTABLE WATERSOLID WASTE SERVICESSERVICE DELIVERYWASTEWATER COLLECTIONSEWERAGE SYSTEMWATERSHED MANAGEMENTSTORAGE CAPACITYWATERSHEDSMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTOPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEWATER USERPROVISION OF WATERUTILITIESREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSINVESTMENT PROJECTWATER DEMANDLARGE CITIESSOLID WASTESYSTEMSURBAN AREASWATER PRODUCTIONWATER AUTHORITYURBAN AREACUBIC METERSMUNICIPAL AREASSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTLOCAL WATERPUBLIC WORKSPUMPING STATIONSPOPULATION GROWTH RATETOWNWATER UTILITIESWASTE DISPOSALWATER SOURCESWATER BODIESSEWAGE TREATMENTDRINKING WATER SUPPLYWATER COLLECTIONSANITATION SERVICESPOTABLE WATER SUPPLYWATER PROJECTSDRINKING WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYWATER USERSACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYCLEAN WATERWASTE COLLECTIONWATER CYCLE MANAGEMENTWATER PARTNERSHIPCOST OF WATERGLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIPMUNICIPAL LEVELDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSSANITATION COVERAGEWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER SOURCEWATER DISTRIBUTIONMUNICIPAL COUNCILFINANCIAL INCENTIVESSERVICE PROVIDERSSANITATION FACILITIESReportWorld Bank10.1596/24430
