ABSTRACT To address urban growth, resource competition, and environmental degradation, effective integrated water planning is crucial. In the UK, policy frameworks like 25-Year Plan for environment National Framework Water Resources stress need a systemic approach. Despite efforts in stakeholder engagement meta-models, integrating physical human aspects management remains challenge. This paper introduces multi-level framework regional planning, demonstrated through London's Sub-Regional Integrated Management Strategy (SIWMS). The framework, depicted as an inverted triangle, starts with conceptual analysis, gathering insights data. modelling creates baseline scenario assessment, providing evidence metrics simulations. focuses on collaboration option selection implementation. Results show framework's effectiveness systems-level analysis at river basin scale. logical progression facilitates engagement, enhancing shared understanding. Systems Integration Modelling (WSIMOD) allows simultaneous assessment of interventions various indicators, aiding prioritising multi-benefit schemes identifying potential negative impacts. study supports prioritisation Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) emphasises importance collaborative approach robust, stakeholder-supported to achieve implementation policies.
