2 Effective Drainage & Flood Mitigation Future cities would incorporate into its urban planning and design of appropriate land uses in accordance to the three-tiered approach of retreat, adapt and defend against future flood vulnerability. A water sensitive city would establish a network of blue and green open spaces and corridors to serve as an integral element of the city s drainage infrastructure and floodway for flood conveyance during rare (low probability) storm occurrences.

18 Clean & healthy water environment. Waterways are valued as an integral part of a liveable city, and its ecological integrity actively protected. Urban waterways in a water sensitive city are managed with the underpinning knowledge that healthy waterways provide important ecosystem services that make a city more liveable and mitigate the impact of the city on the environmental values of aquatic systems within and downstream of the city. Linking Water Sensitive Urbanism to Urban Liveability
19 Access to secured and clean water supply With the exception of temperature, predictions of future trends in climatic conditions, particularly seasonal rainfalls, remains highly uncertain. Future liveable cities would secure its water supply through investment in a diversity of water sources underpinned by a range of centralised and decentralised infrastructure providing cities with the flexibility to access a portfolio of water sources at optimal value and with least impact on rural and environmental water needs. Linking Water Sensitive Urbanism to Urban Liveability
20 Mitigating urban heat Climate responsive designs will have a positive effect on human health. Urban heat mitigating design responses should place particular emphasis on the strategic implementation of WSUD technologies and green infrastructure. Green infrastructure supported by such design principles of keeping water in the landscapes and promoting lush and well-irrigated vegetation can provide microclimate benefits by reducing excess urban heating (through shading, and cooling by evapotranspiration) and limit human exposure to extreme heat.

24 The quality of public spaces Urban water systems could be designed in urban environments to incorporate means of enhancing social engagement and cultural expression Public spaces to include the celebration of water in urban environments with art features that respond to water availability and seasonality, and the establishment of biodiversity terrestrial and aquatic corridors. Linking Water Sensitive Urbanism to Urban Liveability
25 Urban design strategy Parklands, green waterways, structures and buildings are green infrastructure that emphasise the important role that vegetation (and therefore water and irrigation) plays in urban environments. Access to alternative fit-for-purpose water sources provides an additional and abundant source of water to allow the greening of cities. Linking Water Sensitive Urbanism to Urban Liveability
26 The way we manage urban water influences almost every aspect of our urban environment and quality of life.
