Novatech 2013
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network
Within the context of an uncertain future due to increasing urban development, along with a changing climate, stormwater management is a major concern, requiring innovative answers, fuelled by the latest research and proof of concept in the field. To create and implement strategies at the catchment scale, to better characterise runoff and wet weather flow, to design and manage alternative solutions to traditional sewer systems and to better plan and integrate them within the urban landscape, to promote stormwater management as a key component of the sustainable city; these are the many challenges which Novatech aims to address.
By welcoming both water professionals - specialists in drainage and aquatic environments- and urban planning and design professionals - urban planners and designers, strategic planners, landscape architects, architects and sociologists- who both work on land planning and management - Novatech supports the building of a more integrated water management culture, contributes to knowledge transfer and encourages the evolution of practices in all disciplines who play a role in managing water in the urban landscape.
