Design options and planning procedures must be critically examined
to ensure that landscapes are created with sensitivity to water
quality and management issues as well as overall ecological
integrity. Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design presents
the history of water as a design and planning element in landscape
architecture and describes new interpretations of water management.
This text pushes the frontiers of standard water management in new
directions, challenging readers into abandoning the comfortable
safety of conducting business-as-usual within narrow disciplinary
confines, and instead directing views outward to the exciting and
incompletely mapped regions of true interdisciplinary water
sensitive planning and design. With contributions from renowned
practitioners, Part I provides seventeen chapters addressing the
subject of site-specific water sensitive design and Part II
presents another seventeen chapters focusing on issues relating to
the water sensitive planning of riparian buffers and watersheds. In
addition, Professor France has provided a "Response" to accompany
each chapter, which succinctly underscores the salient features in
more detail and emphasizes cross-linking to other chapters in the
book. The "Overview" provides a brief road-map to navigate through
the section. Finally, the discussion summaries at the end of each
section elaborate on past problems, current challenges, and future
directions. Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design puts
forward the very best of modern water sensitive planning and design
and should be required reading for everyone involved in this
dynamic and crucial field.
