Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is an approach to urban planning that integrates water management into the design of cities. It aims to create environments that manage stormwater, reduce flood risk, and protect natural water bodies, while enhancing urban greenery and biodiversity. WSUD uses features like green roofs, swales, and rain gardens to capture and treat rainwater. By promoting sustainable water practices, WSUD not only helps maintain water quality but also fosters healthier, more livable urban spaces, benefiting both people and the environment.
