Decentralised systems based on integrated urban water management (IUWM) and water sensitive urban design (WSUD) principles are being planned and implemented for urban developments, either as separate facilities or in combination with a centralised system. This report discusses identifying characteristics of decentralised systems in terms of technological options, features and scale. These characteristics were identified through analysis of cases studies in both SEQ and other regions of Australia.
