Integrated urban water management relies on data allowing us to
analyse, understand and predict the behaviour of the individual
water cycle components and their interactions. The concomitant
monitoring of the complex of urban water system elements makes it
possible to grasp the entirety of relations among the various
components of the urban water cycle and so develop a holistic
approach to solving urban water problems. Data Requirements for
Integrated Urban Water Managements - issuing from UNESCO's
International Hydrological Programme project on this topic - is
geared towards improving integrated urban water management by
providing guidance on the collection, validation, storage,
assessment and utilization of the relevant data. The first part of
this volume describes general principles for developing a
monitoring programme in support of sustainable urban water
management. The second part examines in detail the monitoring of
individual water cycle components. Two case studies in the final
part illustrating attempts to deliver an integrated monitoring
system help demonstrate the fundamental principles of sustainable
urban water management elaborated here.
