Quantity ● Quality ● Amenity
The concept of "artful rainwater design" is based on the premise that new stormwater management techniques focusing on non-point source pollution, water balance, and small storm hydrology can also be used to create new site amenities.
These designs result in greater user satisfaction and perceived value—i.e. design that not only addresses stormwater management in better ways, but also transforms these management systems into stormwater-based amenities.
These new stormwater requirements present significant amenity design opportunities that deserve to be recognized and exploited.
