Cover Story: Interpretations of integrated water cycle management (IWCM) differ across jurisdictions. This paper discusses 10 interpretations of the IWCM concept globally, in Australia and jurisdictions similar to Australia. This strategic concept aims to address the internal challenges of managing water demand and supply, appropriate disposal and/or wastewater recycling for re-use and distribution networks and provide services at an affordable rate, per changing community needs. The 10 concepts reviewed recognise IWCM as a resource planning tool to address external challenges such as uncertainties of climate change, circular economy and resilience. Technology, which is changing very fast, is considered, but not as an immediate or primary challenge. These differences have been mainly attributed to the organisation’s responsibilities and constraints, which drive IWCM concept design. View this paper
