Water Sensitive Urban Design | Vibepedia

Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) is a comprehensive approach to land planning and engineering design that integrates the urban water cycle, including stormwater, groundwater, and wastewater management and water supply, into urban design. WSUD is similar to low-impact development (LID) in the United States and Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) in the United Kingdom. The cost of implementing WSUD can be recouped through savings on water treatment and infrastructure costs.
