A logical starting point for adopting the IUWM approach is the planning phase. However, little guidance has been written on processes that enable application of the IUWM approach to urban water planning. In an effort to fill this knowledge gap, a framework for the adoption of the IUWM approach for planning (referred to as IUWM Planning Framework) has been developed. This paper describes this Framework. The output of following the IUWM Planning Framework is an IUWM Plan, which defines the preferred portfolio of urban water management for a given area and the actions required to implement it. The IUWM Planning Framework is a useful aid for both those who have already implemented some aspects of the IUWM approach, as well as those who are yet to consider adopting.
