Abstract
Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) requires a multi-stakeholder and cross-sectoral approach, involving of stormwater, water supply, sanitation, collection and disposal of solid waste and land use planning. In Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan area IUWM is still a big challenge. Integration between local urban development planning and the management of the collective impact of all urban-related water processes is minimal. The implementation of an Integrated Urban Water Management depends on overcoming institutional fragmentation and the tendency towards a sectorization of policies and actions implemented by local governments. It requires an improvement in metropolitan municipalities institutional skills, considering that those municipalities have very different socio-spatial dynamics and also very different institutional capacity. This paper intends to examine the capacity of Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area municipalities to build an integrated and sustainable water management, based on the analysis of their institutional capacity and their regulatory instruments concerning land use planning.
