Providing
sufficient water for the worlds rapidly growing urban
population is increasingly the greatest challenge faced
by governments and urban administrators world-wide.
Reducing the quantity of stormwater
diverted to outfall, reducing the contamination of
stormwater at outfall, and increasing the volume
of water which can be diverted to subterranean aquifers
is the key to modern urban water management.
Unchecked, the increasing demand for urban water and
the increasing rate of water supply pollution
will soon adversely impact on every urban dweller world
wide.
A new urban water management strategy is being
developed world wide in an attempt to provide long term,
sustainable solutions. The strategy is known as "Low
Impact - Water Sensitive Urban Design",
and is set to regulate all future urban development.
