Summary: ^"This book advocates a more thoughtful approach to urbanwater management. The approach involves reducing waterconsumption, harvesting rainwater, recycling rainwater andadopting Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) where surfacewater is not sent straight to drains but is intercepted byfeatures like green roofs, rain gardens, swales and ponds.Cities in particular need to change the existing linearmodel of water consumption and use to a more circular onein order to survive. The Water Sensitive City bringstogether the various specialised technical discussionsthat have been continuing for some time into a volume thatis more accessible to designers (engineers and architects),urban planners and managers, and policymakers^"-- Providedby publisher. |

Summary: ^"This book advocates a more thoughtful approach to urbanwater management, including for example, exponents of theWater Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) approach in Australiaand Low Impact Development in the US. This new approachinvolves reducing water consumption, harvesting rainwater,recycling rainwater and adopting Sustainable DrainageSystems (SuDS) where surface water is not sent straight todrains but is intercepted by features like green roofs,rain gardens, swales and ponds. This water sensitiveapproach conserves water, reduces flooding, cleans water(and therefore streams, rivers and seas). It is compatiblewith the greener city and green infrastructure agendas,whereby policy makers want to make cities more liveable.This subject matters because the current use of water bycities is unsustainable. Cities in particular need tochange the existing linear model of water consumption anduse to a more circular one in order to survive. Aquifersall over the world, including some that have takenmillions of years to form, are predicted to dry up in thecoming decades. Reservoirs, eg Lake Mead near Las Vegasonce believed to have permanently solved water supplyproblems, are falling to dangerously low levels. This bookis needed in order to bring together the variousspecialised technical discussions that have beencontinuing for some time into a volume that is moreaccessible to designers (engineers and architects), urbanplanners and managers, and policymakers. People need tounderstand that urban water management should increasinglybecome their concerns rather than a technical matter to beaddressed by specialists alone^"-- Provided by publisher. |
