Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design
Editorial Reviews
Review
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.

Book Description
With contributions from foremost experts and scholars, the Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design pushes the frontiers of standard water management toward new directions, directing views outward to the exciting and incompletely mapped regions of true interdisciplinary water sensitive planning and design. Divided into two thematic sections, the handbook presents water as a design and planning element in landscape architecture and presents current research on the subjects of stormwater management, wetlands park creation, riparian zones, and watershed management.
