The relationship between landscape architecture and water resource management is closely intertwined. Landscape architects play a critical role in the design and management of water resources. They work to develop sustainable landscapes that integrate the natural features of an area, such as rivers and streams, into the built environment. They also work to manage stormwater runoff, prevent erosion, and enhance water quality through the use of ecologically sound practices such as rain gardens, green roofs, and sustainable drainage systems. Ultimately, landscape architects strive to create landscapes that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, while also supporting the careful management of water resources.
