abstract: Johannesburg is the heart of South Africa’s economy the prosperity if the city is of utmost importance. Safeguarding urban water resources is imperative. Integrated urban water management has been developed and used around the world to transform urban water practices to more sustainable and wholistic approaches. This concept has largely been criticised as global north paradigm as it apparently does not suit all contexts. However, all water problems across the globe are unique and there is no one solution designed to solve them all. Governance does not only concern the structures and institutions including the procedures voiced in law and policy, but also social norms. Water resource management frameworks in South Africa provide a theoretical foundation of how knowledge is generated for effectively managing water. How these foundations translate in practice, reveals the strength and capacity of administrative regimes to ensure urban resilience among other things, to water scarcity.
