Addressing water-related challenges in cities requires a holistic inter-disciplinary and multi-sectoral coordination approach.  Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) is one such approach, where all components of the urban water cycle (water supply, sanitation, storm water) are managed in a holistic manner. It provides a framework for holistic planning, designing and managing the urban water systems. One of the key barriers to implementation of IUWM in India is the lack of a robust database of water-related information that can inform decision making. While some of the data may be available in fragmented silos, it does little to facilitate integrated decision making.

This project seeks to develop an online dashboard that compiles a holistic water-related database to support IUWM decision-making. This database will serve as a starting point for proliferating the application of IUWM in the city. The project also envisions to inspire scaling and replication of this concept by sharing the knowledge gained in the city of Gwalior with other cities that are on a similar path.
