PRINCIPLES of strategies and preparation to mitigate Drought impacts

-Recharge the groundwater table increasing permeable surface -Augmenting existing rainwater or run-off water storage on and off-stream storage and surface run-off storage -Alternative water sources harvesting specific to sewage and grey water source harvesting and treated -Increasing the moisture of ground ground cover and evapotranspiration

To mitigate the impacts from drier conditions that storing runoff and flash flooding water and recharging the groundwater table are the most common strategies that can be done from landscape architectural fields. Thus, the suggested sites are suitable to design for water harvesting and let the water infiltrating to the ground.

RECHARGE/ STORAGE

Strengthen the capacity of runoff surface flow storage and the flash flooding water storage

Accessibility

Transportation Circulation

As to discuss and explore the theory of participation in landscape, the participants are taking a vital role in this project. There are many schools can be found within 1.5km radius of those suggested implement sites, as well as local communities and volunteers can easily join this programme.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Participate in managing a c t i v i t ies to connect and bond to the idea of Country

This mapping shows that how those suggested implement sites can further influence and enhance the its ecological connection of adjacent area around Maribyrnong river.

Some of the important sites for native fauna and flora were been investigated that are mostly closed to the waterways and a few located at open space where remaining in the urban context.

The ecological systems of nearby neighborhood and adjacent riverside area may be less damaged through the design implements and strengthen the habitat linkage.

ECOLOGICAL CONNECTION
