This book advocates a more thoughtful approach to urban water management. The approach involves reducing water consumption, harvesting rainwater, recycling rainwater and adopting Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) where surface water is not sent straight to drains but is intercepted by features like green roofs, rain gardens, swales and ponds.

This book demonstrates how to make urban environments greener. It starts by explaining how cities can become more efficient and more pleasant to live in, by mimicking nature and deliberately creating habitats to provide ecosystem services.

Presents a case for making buildings greener.
