Low Impact Water Sensitive Urban Design is described as the "Integration of Urban Planning and Development with the Management, Protection and Conservation of the Water Cycle."

Key principles of Low Impact, Water Sensitive Urban Design are identified as:

• Protection and enhancement of natural water systems within urban developments.
   

• Protection and improvement of the quality of water draining from urban developments into outfall waterways.
   

• Reduction of runoff and peak flows from urban development by the incorporation of local detention measures and minimization of impervious substrates within the development.

• Addition of value to the urban development by the reduction of drainage infrastructure.

Utilizing Xeripave^® solutions for Low Impact Water Sensitive Urban Design has two key advantages:

• Most existing areas can be retrospectively upgraded to provide the advantages of WSUD.

• Xeripave solutions require substantially less land than other available solutions.
