From Grey to Green: Improving Sustainable Drainage Design for Water

Since the beginning of time, water has been flowing through nature moving between the land, rivers, and oceans recycling itself, and most importantly giving life to the earth. And although we see this natural water cycle still in existence today, it now has to adapt to the challenges of urban development and contrasting weather seasons disrupting its flow.

Along with these emerging challenges, drainage designers, engineers, planners, project managers, developers, and consultants are faced with the challenges of regulation, compliance, budget, timelines, design approval, and creating sustainable outcomes. Urban development might not be slowing down, but the way we design and build can hugely impact the amount of disruption occurring to our environment by using the example that nature has shown for centuries.
