2020年2月6日 · Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is a scientifically proven technology to effectively manage stormwater. Why do we need WSUD? Stormwater has a detrimental impact on waterways due to the excess nutrients and pollutants it carries. After the rain, stormwater flows down our waterways in large volumes, contributing to creek bed and bank erosion.

Water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) is a land planning and engineering design approach which integrates the urban water cycle, including stormwater, groundwater, and wastewater management and water supply, into urban design to minimise environmental degradation and improve aesthetic and recreational appeal.

3 天之前 · The combination of three WSUD techniques—a rainwater tank, a rain garden, and an infiltration trench—effectively maintained peak discharge levels for the 1.5-year ARI event close to predevelopment conditions, despite the increased impervious surface ratio. Furthermore, significant reductions in peak flows were observed throughout the range ...

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is an approach to urban planning and design that integrates the management of the total water cycle into the urban development process. WSUD incorporates all water resources, including surface water, groundwater, urban and roof runoff, drinking water and wastewater. It includes:

2017年5月2日 · This review paper presents, in a critical and systematic way, the published researches on water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) technologies and practices. The aim of WSUD is the long-term sustainability for urban water cycle management; it minimises the hydrological impacts of urban development on the surrounding environments.

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is an innovative approach to urban planning and design that aims to integrate water cycle management into urban development. This approach recognizes the significance of water in urban areas and seeks to minimize the negative impacts of urbanization on the natural water cycle.

(WSUD) promotes the sustainable management of water in new developments, and considers water from all sources including rainwater, stormwater, groundwater, mains water and wastewater. WSUD measures can be applied to residential, commercial and industrial developments, including retention and detention

2023年10月25日 · It’s the temporary storage and controlled release of stormwater generated on-site. OSD temporarily stores and slows down the rate of stormwater runoff from a property so that it does not worsen flooding downstream, whereas a rainwater tank stores rainwater for reuse purposes. OSD systems can be located above ground or below ground.

WSUD comes in many forms and can be seen in many places. Some examples include rainwater tanks, raingardens, bio-retention, constructed wetlands and swales. WSUD works best when stormwater is treated close to its source. For example, a raingarden or wetland in a park collecting and treating stormwater from local streets before that

Our water sensitive urban design (WSUD) standard drawings outline the design and construction requirements for bioretention systems (a.k.a raingardens, biofilters), swales, porous paving, street tree pits, rainwater tanks and on-site stormwater detention systems.
