| The most
obvious way is to capture rain water close to its source, harvest and re
use it wisely, and try to infiltrate as much as possible back into the
earth Here at ECES we are
proud to have provided technical and practical assistance to many
projects, designed to promote WSUD (Water Sensitive Urban Design).
From small infiltration systems
(soak ways)) where shire regulations are now promoting WSUD, to major
installations using harvesting systems for the irrigation of sports
fields, streetscapes and utilities.
Permeable Paving is now being
widely accepted as best practice for high density urban areas.
This system allows water to enter in to sub soil voids providing
filtering and re-absorption into the earth.
The Australian Government,
provides grant funding for Stormwater Harvesting Projects, in
recognition of the need to change the current total loss of stormwater
practices which are simply unsustainable on the driest continent on
earth.
