This three-pronged management also provides a broader advantage to the wider Adelaide area. By retaining and reusing the natural water cycle captured the impact of stormwater movement on the greater Adelaide area, including the Adelaide’s coastal environments, is reduced as the volume of urban runoff that flows into the sea is reduced.
