Artful rainwater designcreative ways to manage stormwater /[electronic resource] :by Stuart Echols, Eliza Pennypacker. - Washington, DC :Island Press/Center for Resource Economics :2015. - x, 284 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. History of Stormwater -- 2. Amenity Considerations of Artful Rainwater Design -- 3. Utility Considerations of Artful Rainwater Design -- 4.Case Studies Part -- Conclusion.

This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive guide explains how to design creative, yet practical, landscapes that treat on-site stormwater management as an opportunity to enhance site design. Stormwater management as art? Absolutely. Rain is a resource that should be valued and celebrated, not merely treated as an urban design problem -- and yet, traditional stormwater treatment methods often range from ugly to forgettable. This book shows that it's possible to effectively manage runoff while also creating inviting, attractive landscapes. It is a must-have resource for landscape architects, urban designers, civil engineers, and architects looking to create landscapes that celebrate rain for the life-giving resource it is-- and contribute to more sustainable, healthy, and even fun, built environments.
