未来，将不可避免地对空间规划系统施加越来越大的压力，以改进其对水管理问题的考虑。新出现的挑战包括针对极端气候进行设计、降低洪水风险、管理日益稀缺的水资源和改善水质。这些问题需要与一系列其他空间规划优先事项和目标相平衡，包括满足新的住房需求、促进经济增长以及创造和维护优质场所。围绕水管理的问题及其对空间规划的影响极其复杂，这意味着伙伴关系的工作对于实现综合办法至关重要。规划者需要工程师和水文学家的专业知识，最重要的是他们的理解。然而，各学科之间可能存在相当大的误解和沟通错误，往往涉及各方运作的体制背景。存在过多的政策、工具和评估，这可能使综合水管理成为规划者的压倒性前景。本文试图确定和解决一些面临的问题，并研究规划者如何在决策中嵌入水文问题，以及工程师如何更好地促进这一点。
In the future, increasing pressure will inevitably be placed on the spatial planning system to improve its consideration of water management issues. Emerging challenges include designing for climatic extremes, reducing flood risk, managing increasingly scarce water resources and improving water quality. These issues need to be balanced with a range of other spatial planning priorities and objectives, including meeting new housing needs, facilitating economic growth, and creating and maintaining quality places. The sheer complexity of the issues surrounding water management and the impacts upon spatial planning mean that partnership working is essential to achieve an integrated approach. Planners need the expertise, and crucially the understanding, of engineers and hydrologists. However, there can be considerable misunderstanding and miscommunication between disciplines, often concerning the institutional context in which the various parties operate. A plethora of policies, tools and assessments exist, which can make integrated water management an overwhelming prospect for the planner. This paper attempts to identify and address some of the issues faced, as well as examining how planners embed hydrological issues in decision making and how engineers could better facilitate this.
