Design options and planning procedures must be critically examined to ensure that landscapes are created with sensitivity to water quality and management issues as well as overall ecological integrity. Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design presents the history of water as a design and planning element in landscape architecture and describes new interpretations of water management. This text pushes the frontiers of standard water management in new directions, challenging readers into abandoning the comfortable safety of conducting business-as-usual within narrow disciplinary confines, and instead directing views outward to the exciting and incompletely mapped regions of true interdisciplinary water sensitive planning and design.

With contributions from renowned practitioners, Part I provides seventeen chapters addressing the subject of site-specific water sensitive design and Part II presents another seventeen chapters focusing on issues relating to the water sensitive planning of riparian buffers and watersheds. In addition, Professor France has provided a "Response" to accompany each chapter, which succinctly underscores the salient features in more detail and emphasizes cross-linking to other chapters in the book. The "Overview" provides a brief road-map to navigate through the section. Finally, the discussion summaries at the end of each section elaborate on past problems, current challenges, and future directions. Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design puts forward the very best of modern water sensitive planning and design and should be required reading for everyone involved in this dynamic and crucial field.

Industry Reviews

"The book demonstrated an extremely broad range of interests and professional approaches within water-sensitive planning and design. It will be an important reference to environmental hydrogeologists, hydrologists, scientists, and graduate students."
- Fakhry A. Assaad, Consultant Geologist and Data Analyst, in International Journal of Geosciences, Vol. 49, No. 3, June 2006
"To the practitioner, the chapters dedicated to built projects offer the most value. Here designers speculate upon the meaning of a renewed attitude and relationship with water when brought to the built form of their projects. These projects, such as 'Water Gardens as Stormwater Infrastructure (Portland, Oregon)' by Thomas Liptan and Robert Murase, showcase how a water sensitive approach is as much about conceptual principles and technical skills as it is about enriched artistic expression."
-Matthew J. Tucker, Conservation Design Forum
