The Water Environment Research Foundation Seeks Proposals To Explore Urban Planning Best Practices

WERF is currently seeking proposals to bring together urban planning and water sector professionals to document best practices and explore how planning for the full spectrum of water services can be integrated with the urban development process. This research effort seeks to identify:

• Existing urban planning processes that connect to water resource planning and management
• Disconnects and barriers in the current approach
• Effective ways to bridge the disconnect(s) between urban planners and water resource managers

The researchers for this project entitled Integrating Water Systems with Urban Planning and Design (SIWM5R13) will identify concepts for the integration of sustainable water resource management and urban planning activities for professionals in both sectors to use. Proposals are due no later than September 23, 2015.
