Cities as Water Supply Catchments: Green cities and microclimate (Project B3.1)

This project aims to understand the climatic benefits of stormwater harvesting, water sensitive urban design (WSUD) and urban greening at the household- to neighbourhood-scale, including the relationship between extreme heat and health outcomes. This project will determine how effective stormwater harvesting technologies, tree cover, green infrastructure and WSUD are improving urban climates at a range of scales.
