Traditionally development has paid little attention to managing water within the built environment. In this module the principles of Integrated Water Management are identified and the benefits listed.  The solutions provided explain a number of technologies and design principles that:

  • minimise the consumption of water;
  • make use of alternative water sources;
  • minimise wastage;
  • manage surface water drainage; and
  • improve water quality


The links on the left hand side of this page allow you to navigate through the guidance contained in the Water Module.
