Abstract：Attributes were identified and analyzed using a framework of nested management regime spheres: the administrative and regulatory system, inter-organizational, intra-organizational, and human resources spheres. The regime is likely to involve significant stakeholder involvement, collaborative inter-organizational relationships, flexible and adaptive organizational cultures, and motivated and engaging employees. Comparison of the constructed sustainable and traditional regime attributes reveals that to realize sustainable urban water management in practice a substantial shift in governance is required. This difference emphasizes the critical need for explicitly supported strategies targeted at developing each management regime sphere to further enable change toward sustainable urban water management.

摘要：由于城市水资源可持续性管理制度的缺失，城市水资源管理受到限制。尽管城市水资源管理的技术解决方法取得了明显进步，但主要受城市经济社会体制进化和技术进步的驱动。通过分析81个实践案例，构建了城市水资源可持续发展框架。通过识别和分析指标建立了城市水资源管理制度的评价体系，评价包括管理体系、监管系统、部门间及部门内部机制、人力资源等。城市水资源管理体系应涉及：利益相关者参与制度，部门间协作机制、灵活和具备适应性的管理文化、充满动力和有魅力的雇员等。通过比较可持续性的和传统制度，发现实现城市水资源可持续管理是实践中必需的重大转变。这种差异反映出发展管理制度推动城市水资源可持续性制度转变的迫切性。
