Options to Connect to the Drainage System
Increasingly, drainage water is being retained within developments under the principles of water sensitive urban design as part of the local water balance. The Department of Water is responsible for arterial drainage planning in Western Australia and the preparation of Drainage and Water Management Plans (DWMP).
The State Water Plan 2007 identified a number of districts that require a DWMP to be prepared as a consequence of land development. The Water Corporation has drainage infrastructure in a number of these catchments.
