Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) creates urban environments that allow the water cycle to function more naturally, reducing the impact of development.

Benefits include improved stormwater quality, reduced potable-water use for irrigation, flood mitigation, increased biodiversity through wetlands and rain gardens, reduced urban heat island effects, and improved soil permeability.
