ZHL Engineers Sdn Bhd Local government stakeholders, urban design professionals, project managers, planners, urban designers, landscape architects and engineers. Objectives This shortcourse provides an introduction to water sensitive urban design what it is, why it is important and key dos and donts to success- ful implementation. The short course will also increase your knowledge and skills in the conceptualization and development of WSUD solutions and the integration with the urban form. By the end of this course the participants will: 1. Be aware of the principles and benefits of WSUD 2. Have an appreciation of critical success factors for achieving water sensitive developments, including a collaborative design process. 3. Be aware of successful water sensitive urban design projects accord- ing to MSMA Manual in Malaysia 4. Have a strong understanding of the conceptual design process and roles for each discipline at each stage of the process (associated risk and costs). 5. Know how to apply WSUD at a range of scales and development types. 6. Have a good understanding of the different WSUD technologies and their most appropriate applications. 7. Be able to utilise the existing guidelines and to undertake WSUD in a range of development types. 8. Be aware of typical requirements for the phases of development approval and expose to Case study at HTC. The short course will be the first of a series or training with future training to provide detailed guidance on bioretention, permeable pavement, GPT, rainwater, constructed wetlands and etc. and construction/establishment.

However, high variability in water availability and water demand in the country has resulted in various water related issues such as scarcity, water pollution and flash floods, which has to be managed efficiently and effectively through sustainable and scientific approaches. WSUD concept is fairly new concept in Malaysia to integrate a holistic approach to the management of the urban water cycle including stormwater, water supply and wastewater into the sustainable urban design of a project. The WSUD strategy has been developed in partnership with Best Planning Processes (BPP) and Best Management Prac- tices (BMPs), to ensure sustainable development more impor- tantly, to ensure that appropriate WSUD options can be se- lected to compliment the sustainable urban design and land- scape objectives. WSUD Concept can be simplified as formu- lating development plans that incorporate and integrated ap- proach to the management of the urban water cycle.
This course is designed for practitioners who are involved in the planning, design and / or approval of drainage stormwater projects. This course covers the basic principle of WSUD. It takes participants through the functional design process re- quired for wetland, bioretention system, swales and ponds. Topic includes the concept design of wetlands, swales, biore- tention systems and ponds. An overview of the MUSIC model is also presented. In addition, practitioners will work through detailed work examples design to facilitate confidence in ap- plying WSUD going forward. This course is very useful for prac- titioners who do not deal with WSUD engineering require- ments everyday, but where a basic understanding of the con- cept, design requirements would be advantages. For instance, the application of WSUD requires a basic understanding of hydrology and hydraulics. However, practitioners such as plan- ners, managers, landscape architects and environmental sci- entist may not have the chance to develop these skills during their academic or professional experience. The course is com- pletely consistent and follows the same methodologies de- tailed within the MSMA manual.
