Landscape architecture is the profession which applies artistic and scientific principles to the research, planning, design and management of both natural and built environments. (The American Society o fLandscape Architects (ASLA))
The scope of landscape works:
- Landscape design
- Site planning
- Stormwater management
- Environmental restoration
- Parks and recreation planning
- Visual resource management
- Green infrastructure planning and provision
- And private estate and residence landscape master planning and design
So, Landscape Architecture is Your environment, designed.
What is the current water problem?
- Groundwater (GW) is rarely used before196o's
- Changes in knowledges & technology -> Use of GW began to rise
- Until 2010, number of GW taken: 1000 km cubic/year -> 67% for irrigation, 11% for industry
BUT
- Low rate of GW return (replenishment)
- High number of GW extraction
- Loss of GW
What can Landscape Architecture do for Water Conservation?
1. Terraces
- Reduce the speed of runoff in steep area.
- Reduces soil erosion.
2. Hedges
- Reduce the speed of the water and so reduce the damage related to mudslides.
- Stabilize banks when they are planted next to a stream
- Reduce water loss by evaporation
- Allow the accumulation of runoff water for a certain period.
- Reduce the velocity of runoff which then slowly flows into the water course.
- Promote the sedimentation of the soil particles carried by these sources of water.
6. Maintain Forests
- Trees keep the number of water in the soil
- Allowing a percentage of the rain to reach the ground.
- Alternative -> urban forests.
