As we navigate the pressures of climate change, rapid population growth, and an urgent demand for housing, the way we manage our water systems—particularly stormwater—has never been more critical. These forces are reshaping our cities and towns, placing new demands on infrastructure and intensifying the need for integrated, resilient water management.

Yet within these challenges lies opportunity.

With thoughtful planning, innovative design, and strategic asset management, we can transform stormwater from a risk into a resource. By reimagining how we interact with the water cycle—from the moment rain falls to its journey to the coast—we can enhance water security, reduce flood risks and protect our waterways.
