Study about Realizability Situation and Utilization Contexts of Water Sensitive Urban Design

Abstract

Climate changes, failure to complete the natural cycle of water in the city due to unsustainable<br />construction of the urban environments and increase of impervious surfaces, lack of nutrition of underground<br />aquifer in the cities, unsustainable management of stormwater and the floods due to them in the periods of rainfall<br />caused to provide an approach that is called water sensitive urban design. This approach offers methods in the three<br />parts; Sustainable management of stormwater, domestic scale water management and wastewater management.<br />Different countries have pay to utilize of these methods according to their climatic conditions and their urban<br />forms each in different ways. This study shows for achieve success in use of WSUD methods we need situation and<br />requirements such as: Legal framework, ability of methods to close water cycle in cities to natural water cycle, pay<br />attention to aesthetic concepts and aspects, methods ability to achieve the technical objectives, pay attention to type<br />of methods and the scale of site, pay attention to climate conditions and specifications in implementation of projects,<br />the measure of selected methods efficiency, public acceptance and integrated planning in the projects.
