Abstract: Abstract Administrators of urban water institutions face huge challenges in ensuring water rights and water security of the citizens of ever-expanding cities. The concept of sustainable water management system enables the utilities to keep the gap between water demand and supply under control. The transformation from traditional urban water management system to sustainable urban water management system creates a hybrid system in Indian cities. Sustainable urban water management depends upon local and global factors of governance, technology, water economics and water infrastructure of the cities. A conceptual framework is developed to compute sustainability of water management system of Indian cities. This framework considers governance, infrastructure, technology and economics of water system of the city to compute the sustainability.
