Abstract / Summary:
In response to the need for reliable, cost-effective, environmentally-friendly, robust and aesthetically-pleasing stormwater treatment measures, the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology undertook research to develop new and existing stormwater quality improvement practices. The integration of these and other water conservation practices into urban design is referred to as Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and its principles can apply to individual houses and streetscapes or to whole catchments.
Fundamental to successfully applying WSUD principles to urban development is an understanding of the performance capabilities of structural stormwater management strategies, their life cycle costs and market acceptance. This 44-page report targetting urban stormwater managers centres on the design process, construction activities and monitoring of environmental, social and economic performance indicators associated with Lynbrook Estate's Demonstration Project.
