ACHIEVING ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY THROUGH WATER SENSITIVE PLANNING &
DESIGN
The earth's hydrological cycle has been altered through centuries of
human activity. Due to its corporal form, water is an important integrator
of environmental disturbance across spatial scales from small subdivisions
to regional drainage basins. As a result, local site-specific actions
are cumulative on larger landscapes. This requires us to exercise caution
and to employ wisdom in the planning and design of individual development
projects. Given the demonstrable decreases in environmental integrity
already produces, proactive planning and design can provide positive
environmental benefits.
