Living With Water
Living with water calls for design solutions to consider how human activity can accommodate water as part of everyday life. Developments are designed to create safe and accessible environments that can accommodate variable water level and risk. Homes are to be constructed of suitably resilient and/or flood resistant material. Contingency mechanisms to mitigate risk of life and property are integral features that preserve continuity of life during and after flood events. Transportation should be readily available and can operate unhindered in times of flooding.
Such an approach means that people who live here have an improved understanding of the natural processes around them, risk to themselves and their property is reduced and their homes continue to be insured.
