With contributions from prominent experts and scholars, the Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design pushes the frontier of standard water management toward new directions, guiding views outward to the exciting and incompletely mapped regions of true interdisciplinary water sensitive planning and design. Divided into two themat

Recenzje

”The book demonstrated an extremely broad range of interests and professional approaches within water-sensitive planning and design. It will be an important reference to environmental hydrogeologists, hydrologists, scientists, and graduate students.”
— Fakhry A. Assaad, Consultant Geologist and Data Analyst, in International Journal of Geosciences, Vol. 49, No. 3, June 2006
"To the practitioner, the chapters dedicated to built projects offer the most value. Here designers speculate upon the meaning of a renewed attitude and relationship with water when brought to the built form of their projects. These projects, such as 'Water Gardens as Stormwater Infrastructure (Portland, Oregon)' by Thomas Liptan and Robert Murase, showcase how a water sensitive approach is as much about conceptual principles and technical skills as it is about enriched artistic expression."
—Matthew J. Tucker, Conservation Design Forum
