Water Sensitive Urban Design Key Design Elements

1. Permeable Pavers
    Permeable pavers allow storm water to infiltrate through small channels. "In addition to reducing    
     runoff, this effectively traps suspended solids and filters pollutants from the water."

2. Plant-based Water-purifying System
    Plant-based water-purifying system is based on living plants - could be used to remove common  
    toxic from water.

3. Sewer Recycling System

4. Riparian Buffer
    Riparian buffer is " is a vegetated area (a "buffer strip") near a stream, usually forested, which helps shade and partially protect a stream from the impact of adjacent land uses. It plays a key role in increasing water quality in associated streams, rivers, and lakes, thus providing environmental benefits."
