SA case studies delivering ecosystem services, flood protection and urban cooling

Early infiltration systems were introduced to manage stormwater peak flow rates, and increasingly these water sensitive urban design assets are being installed to provide ecosystem services and build climate resilience within our streets and suburbs.

A site tour of the ecological sponges within the Newenham development in Mount Barker will be complemented by presentations on South Australian case studies that demonstrate the multiple benefits infiltration systems provide.

Following the seminar you will have a chance to network over drinks and nibbles.
