Historic approaches to stormwater management – which initially focused on conveyance, followed by flood control and eventually some aspects of water quality – failed to address the full range of water resources related issues associated with stormwater runoff. To adequately deal with changes to the volume, rate and timing of runoff, and to design source, conveyance and end-of-pipe controls capable of satisfying groundwater recharge, [[water quality]], variable environmental flow targets, and other goals, a holistic, integrated approach to stormwater planning and management is required. To achieve this, a robust, interdisciplinary team consisting of infrastructure [[Category:Planning|planners]], water resources [[Engineering_hub|engineers]], geomorphologists, [[Hydrogeology_hub|hydrogeologists]], [[ecologists]], fisheries biologists, [[Landscape_hub|landscape architects]] and others must come together in order to define key targets and resource management goals underpinning the one water approach.
