Water quality and quantity
 |
The Draft RSS notes that climate change will put pressure on water resources and could impact on water quality, due to the reduced ability of surface and groundwater sources to dilute pollution.

Design considerations
Developers must ensure that there is are no adverse effects of changes in water flow (rate or volume) or of biological, chemical, suspended-solid or other pollution to watercourses, ponds or ground water. This includes discharges during construction in addition to the permanent works.
Water must be used efficiently, with opportunities taken to recycle water where possible, such as greywater recycling schemes.
