Abstract
Sao Paulo is facing a big threat of lacking water supply in the short-term, and many reasons explain this
build-up context of water insecurity. As a contrast, a city called Jundiaí, located 60km away from the
largest and doughtiest Brazilian financial center, was able to achieve relative stable status of water
security by doing its water management ‘homework’ in the past years. The present research
investigates how Jundiaí’s water supply and management system have fostered water security in a
macro context of water scarcity. Here it is proposed the Institutional Analysis and Development
framework (IAD) as theoretical underpin for understanding water management outcomes constructed in
institutional settings. By focusing on the arena of water management, actors and action situations are
explored and their contribution to the water security status are unveiled, thus contributing with
lessons on water governance and with a new example of application for the IAD model – on water
management and supply frameworks.
