EXPLORE BY SCALE

Green Infrastructure measures can be applied at all scales in an urban area. The consequent section includes the analysis, designing and planning of GI for different scales according to the Water Sensitive Urban Design & Planning principles. Also this section will mention about the water uses at different scales.

City/ Zonal

(Medium density: 200-400 persons per hectare (pph), commercial areas...

Neighbourhood

(Institutional/ commercial buildings/ Residential Complexes)

Individual

(Residential buildings (plotted/ four-five storied)

EXPLORE BY OBJECTIVES

The drivers behind these case studies varies and may range from a need for water conservation, to provide water for recreational open space to protecting or restoring water quality of waterbodies etc. The solutions to the water management challenges may vary depending on these objectives.

Water Conservation

Case Studies that sustain water demand and supplies by water conservation, increasing water infiltration ...

Pollution Abatement

Case Studies that focus on pollution reduction of water from both point and non-point sources as well ...
Urban Flood Mitigation

Case Studies that focus on stormwater management, flood mitigation, management of extreme flood events ...

Knowledge

Do you want to deep dive into the concepts of GI? Check out our one stop Resource Library for CSE's Practitioner's Guide, latest publications, recommended readings and so much more.

First Practitioner's Guide in India by CSE, demonstrating green infrastructure as one of the solutions to overcome the emerging water management issues - of water supply and quality regulation and moderation of extreme flood events.
Water-sensitive urban design and planning (WSUDP) integrates the urban water cycle, water supply, wastewater, storm-water and groundwater management with spatial and urban design.
This Template is a roadmap for sustainable urban water management. It helps cities know where they stand in terms of sustainable practices, and how they need to proceed with their water resources.

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CSE AND UWE

This initiative is developed under the MOU with UWE, Bristol.
With the aim of building a community of practice on GI and a global south centre for Green Infrastructure, advocacy and research, C-GINS (Compendium of Green Infrastructure network) is an attempt towards resourcefulness under the three-year partnership (2019-22) between the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), India and the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE Bristol), UK. It is an initiative supported by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF), and the International Water Security Network (IWSN) which is funded by Lloyd's Register Foundation, a charitable foundation helping to protect life and property by supporting engineering-related education, public engagement and the application of research.
