Rapid urbanization and climate change are causing stormwater runoff to present increasingly severe problems in cities and metropolitan regions, including flooding, aquatic degradation and water shortages. Yet, stormwater can become an amenity when designers artfully capture, detain, treat and re-use stormwater, using it to generate more livable, delightful, and environmentally sustainable cities. The Art of Stormwater helps students and practitioners of landscape architecture and related environmental design fields understand the needs and possibilities for transforming stormwater into multi-functional urban amenities. Providing essential background concepts, useful planning and design principles and approaches and instructional illustrated case studies demonstrating how stormwater impacts on natural systems, urban infrastructure, neighborhoods, parks, plazas, streets, buildings and public art. Guest practitioners contribute brief perspectives on their successful projects, cultivating awareness of contemporary leaders in the field and bringing to life the profession and practice of landscape architecture as it relates to stormwater management planning and design.
