What is Water Sensitive Urban Design?

Water cycle management is an important consideration for urban development that contributes to an ecologically sustainable city.

Water cycle management covers:

  • drinking water
  • stormwater run-off
  • waterway health
  • sewage treatment
  • re-cycling

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is about integration of water cycle management into urban planning and design.

This site focuses primarily on the stormwater aspects of WSUD.
