Outcomes from the project fall into three main themes:
Engineering to enhance service delivery
Next generation flood and water management models that bridge the interfaces between urban/rural and engineered/natural hydrological systems
The steps necessary to design, implement and operate coupled Blue/Green+Grey stormwater treatment trains through development of adaptation pathways
GIS toolbox for a National Assessment identifying appropriate location specific Blue/Green+Grey combinations under present and future climates
Optimum resource use across the drought-flood spectrum
Enhanced design methods that co-optimise management of urban runoff both to mitigate flood hazards and capture the benefits of treating stormwater as a resource
Improved integration of urban flood risk management and water, energy and transport infrastructure and expanded inter-operability of urban systems-of-systems
Flood risk management at the heart of urban planning
Characterisation of citizen’s behaviours and decision making concerning flooding and urban water use, and means of informing those decisions
New protocols for placing flood and water management decision making at the heart of urban planning as recommended by Pitt (2008) and the Flood and Water Management Act (2010)
Case studies demonstrating Blue-Green approaches to flood and water management that are innovative, inclusive, resilient and suitable for retrofit, urban renewal, and new build/new town applications
