This publication provides guidance on how to achieve improved sustainable water cycle management in new developments. It outlines the policy context and the processes involved focusing on why it is required and what approaches are needed for its successful planning and delivery.

This guidance is based on the information collated in this multi-disciplinary research and presents the results for practitioners involved in water cycle management in new developments.
