Waterfronts

• Definition
• A waterfront is the boundary between a body of
  water, such as a lake or river, and the land
  abutting it (http//wx.toronto.ca/zoning.nsf)
• History
• Impetus
• Waterfront (re-)development/use
• Key issues

• Scheme of hydrological cycle in nature
• Hydrological cycle in nature

5
Urban Hydrological Cycle

• Scheme of urban hydrological cycle
• Urban hydrological cycle

6
SUDS Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems

• Quantity and quality of runoff
• Conventional drainage system
• SUDS - Prevention is better than cure

7
Flooding

• Flooding is a result of
• river management
• tidal surges in estuaries (flood and ebb)
• impact of the sea
• gravitation
• greenhouse effect
• Flood defence
