Summer 2024, VOL. 64, NO. 1
Water supports our daily life. Integrated planning that accounts for the whole water cycle is integral for sustainable communities. As our climate changes, so does the water cycle. We are seeing more extreme precipitation events and devastating droughts. To accommodate for our changing water cycle, are we changing the way we plan for managing water, especially in our communities? Water management is fundamentally an interdisciplinary practice and planners play an important role in collaborating across disciplines to integrate water needs into land use decisions.
