Water Sensitive Urban Design Impediments and Potential Contributions to the SA Urban Water Blueprint collection

Water conservation, water quality improvement, flood control and a healthy living environment are just some of the benefits that can be delivered by Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). Despite these benefits, WSUD has not been widely adopted in South Australia. This project aimed to find out why South Australia has not experienced mainstream uptake of WSUD before addressing those barriers and identifying opportunities to encourage the implementation of sustainable urban design which is tailored to the state's specific needs and conditions.

This collection includes the calibrated models produced by Task 3 of the project. These models were for the Frederick Street catchment (also known as Drain 18), located in Glengowrie, South Australia and the Paddocks catchment, located in Para Hills, South Australia. The models were developed in PCSWMM Version 5, available from CHI Software. However, the model is fully compatible with the USEPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) Version 5. Further information on the intent, assumptions and background data for the model is provided in the research report for the project. Please refer to related publication.

节水、水质改善、洪涝防控与健康宜居环境，皆是水敏性城市设计（Water Sensitive Urban Design, WSUD）所能带来的诸多益处之一。尽管具备上述优势，水敏性城市设计在南澳大利亚州仍未得到广泛应用。本项目旨在先探明该州水敏性城市设计未能实现主流推广应用的原因，随后针对性破解相关阻碍，并挖掘机遇以推动适配该州特定需求与场地条件的可持续城市设计落地实施。

本数据集包含本项目任务3所生成的率定模型。这些模型针对南澳大利亚州格伦戈里（Glengowrie）的弗雷德里克街汇水区（又称排水渠18），以及帕拉希尔斯（Para Hills）的帕多克斯汇水区构建。模型基于CHI Software公司推出的PCSWMM 5.0版本开发，不过该模型可完全兼容美国环境保护署（United States Environmental Protection Agency, USEPA）的暴雨管理模型（Stormwater Management Model, SWMM）5.0版本。有关该模型的设计初衷、假设前提与基础数据等详细信息，可参阅本项目的研究报告及相关公开出版物。
