Swales are linear, depressed channels that collect and transfer stormwater.

Stormwater harvesting involves collecting, treating, storing and using stormwater runoff from urban areas.

Apply for a stormwater harvesting licence to connect to a stormwater drain, watercourse or open channel, or harvest stormwater from a waterway managed by Melbourne Water.

​Early planning is important to ensuring a successful WSUD project.

The concept design stage involves selecting the type, location and approximate size of stormwater treatments.
