Integrating Land Use And Water Management: Planning And Practice (Policy Focus Reports)

Land without water cannot support urban form of any scale, yet many land use decisions are made without regard to water, and vice versa. This report introduces readers to best management practices that enable local governments and water providers to integrate the two systems. Supported by case studies from several U.S. communities, the report demonstrates that planning is a crucial step for land and water integration. This report examines the overall benefits and connection points between land use and water management; explores existing regulations related to integrated planning, both within comprehensive land use and water management plans; provides case studies of successful integrated planning; and provides policy recommendations.
