Water managers in large cities in developing countries experience great difficulties in providing proper water supply and sanitation services in a context of rapidly growing population with changing water use patterns, structural lack of capacity and resources. There is a need for in-depth city-wise water assessments of fast growing large cities in developing countries to help gain insight into the implications of urban water and sanitation development scenarios on urban water demand, wastewater disposal and downstream water use. The generation of reliable data sets and modeling results for a selection of cities will help understand the present and future impact that water use has on water resources and flows that cross the urban-rural divide. Also, an easy-to use model can support decision making at the local urban water planning and policy level. This paper describes ongoing research on the urban water system in three fast growing cities in the South. The application of integrated urban water management in developing countries is needed for the sustainable management of water resources within the city and basin.

Local livelihoods and state policies have a dual interface. One, policy changes affect rural livelihood practices, informal local institutions and peoples coping strategies. Two, these changes do affect resource use sustainability since local livelihoods are embedded in the local resource base. Financial constraints, land, and alternative means of livelihood are critical factors forcing many people into unsustainable patterns of natural resource use. Paucity of choices forces the poor to adopt short-term survival strategies. People without any hope for the future have little incentive to manage natural resources well. Until recently, forests were the sole objective of forest policy and people were taken as enemies of the forest. However, now there has been a realization that forestry should be an instrument of the policy rather than its objective, thus leading towards sustainable livelihoods and reducing pressure on the fast dwindling forests. This paper with focus on mainly the case study conducted in NWFP (where 40% of Pakistan’s natural forests are present) emphasizes that legal, institutional and policy reforms alone are not sufficient to achieve sustainable development and poverty alleviation. Good laws and policies are useless without political and administrative will to change. Otherwise, the poor would remain mired in poverty pushing us into a spiral of over exploitation in the wake of all forest policy failures.
