This document provides guidance on stormwater harvesting and reuse projects based on experience gained from previous projects.
Considerations include:
- planning – assessing a project within the broader context of integrated urban water cycle management and risk assessment

- operations, maintenance and monitoring – ensuring that potential impacts to public health and the environment are managed appropriately and project are sustainable.
