Urban Water in IHP-VII (2008-2013)
Impacts of global changes on cities urban water systems adaptation to climate change
Sustainable urban water management strategies Best Management Practices (BMPs) and best
technologies for sustainable urban water management
Urban water governance addressing social, economic and institutional
dimensions of integrated urban water management Water and sanitation: slum Promoting science, knowledge and capacity
building for sustainable urban water management
Sustainable Urban Water Management Strategies
Exploring and identifying promising directions for sustainable water management strategies, including alternative (low-cost) technologies and innovations
Managing the interactions between different components of the urban water cycle
Moving from water supply management to demand-side management
The Way Forward
“How do we harness the technology and scientific advances that have been
made in the field of water resources management of the past decades?”
Why have we not yet moved to an integrated approach to urban water management?
How can we use new technologies to better understand groundwater process so that we can utilize their potential in the urban context?
International Hydrological Programme (IHP)
UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme: the only global, intergovernmental scientific
programme of the UN system devoted to water science, research and capacity building for sustainable water resources management.
responds to the needs and priorities of UNESCO Member States IHP National Committees and focal points in165 countries
implemented in 6-year phases: IHP-VII (2008-2013) 3 decades of water science and capacity building (since
1975)
