Abstract: Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) represents an integrated approach that aims to reduce urban water demand from centralised urban water sewerage system through implementation of water consumption reduction management, use of alternative water sources, water recycling and reuse. IUWM is not a scope but rather a tool used to integrate water resources, economic sectors that are using water, water supply – sewerage systems and water management authorities. Based on the three pillars of sustainable development a strategic model for implementation of IUWM within urban areas was developed. For the implementation of proposed IUWM strategic model the following main steps are needed to be undertaken: real diagnosis of the current water management status, setting up the vision, mission and fundamental values, establishment of strategic objectives structured on four perspectives (financial, partners, internal processes, learning/growth) and development of key performance indicators set. An example of proposed IUWM strategic model applied on an urban area is also presented.
