Abstract

This chapter investigates the extent to which water sensitive urban design (WSUD) can be used for the management of flooding and peak flows in urban catchments. It provides background to the reader regarding the intent of WSUD for flood and flow management, followed by a discussion of key drainage principles, including how WSUD can be incorporated into them. Finally, the chapter presents peer-reviewed case study literature, which has examined the effectiveness of WSUD measures to manage flooding and peak flows.
