An Overview of Water Sensitive Urban Design Practices in Australia

Ecologically Sustainable Development in Australia can be described as going beyond the protection of the environment from the impacts of pollution, to protecting and conserving natural resources. In an urban environmental context this means urban development (both greenfield development and urban renewal) that seeks to have no long term effects on various aspects of the environment related to a...

Study about Realizability Situation and Utilization Contexts of Water Sensitive Urban Design

Climate changes, failure to complete the natural cycle of water in the city due to unsustainableconstruction of the urban environments and increase of impervious surfaces, lack of nutrition of undergroundaquifer in the cities, unsustainable management of stormwater and the floods due to them in the periods of rainfallcaused to provide an approach that is called water sensitive urban design. Thi...

Community participation in "urban" water supply and sanitation systems.

In our desire to help people of the developing world, we often forget that the purpose of building water supply and sanitation systems is not to construct and install a set of physical devices (i.e., pumps, pipes, latrines, etc.), but rather to have things done in such a manner that those served will use, operate, and maintain the systems over a long period of time. For clearly, a water system ...
