Water sensitive urban design

• The water sensitive urban design engineering guidelines for stormwater will provide water cycle solutions for urban development that:    
• protect waterway health by improving stormwater quality and reducing run-off
• minimise effluent discharge
• increase recycling opportunities
• reduce water demand by providing alternative sources
