Integrated Water Strategies
Integrated Water Strategies
When you see your “site” as part of a watershed, and as habitat for all life, amazing things can happen.
The most desirable and resilient communities now rely on “integrated water strategies,” ways of handling water that integrate the built world with the natural environment, ecology with planning and design, and people with the broader community of life. Your site, campus or district is part of a watershed, and should function like one. Biohabitats will help you devise strategies that make the best and most efficient use of water, while enhancing the economic, ecological and social capital of your project.
