Managing the growth of our stormwater network

Water improvement projects, such as blue-green networks, help to minimise flood risks, manage stormwater and prevent water contamination.

Blue-green networks

A blue-green network is a system of waterways (blue) and parks (green) that give stormwater space to flow and help reduce flooding where people live.

Stormwater and waterway projects

Through improvement projects on our stormwater network and waterways, we try to minimise flood risks, manage stormwater and prevent water contamination.
