Information on the state of knowledge for development in areas of high groundwater.
Design Scale: District, Lot, Precinct, Street
This research project undertaken by the Coopertive Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities (CRCWSC) aims to better understand the impact of urban development in groundwater impacted environments, and provide guidance for water sensitive solutions for areas with high groundwater tables.
Stage 1 of the project involved a scoping study that collated existing knowledge to guide development of a research action plan for Stage 2. This fact sheet provides a summary of the findings of Stage 1.
The Stage 1 study aimed to define the state of urban water knowledge for urban development in areas of high groundwater. The study findings were based on a literature review (published and unpublished reports), structured interviews and a stakeholder workshop.
