The design of urban water infrastructure is essential to fulfilling two big dreams: becoming a nation of swimmable and fishable waters, and low‐carbon living. Well‐designed green infrastructure is integrated throughout the landscape, utilizing strategies such as green (vegetated) roofs, permeable paving, and bioretention systems that are intended to mimic the way rainfall and runoff are managed in nature. These systems retain runoff, thereby allowing for natural evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration. Rainwater management systems must be engineered to maintain both their function and their beauty. Water savings can be achieved by using nonpotable water when potable water is not necessary. Treatment and reuse of nonpotable water is regulated at the state level. Many states have followed the frameworks suggested in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Guidelines for Water Reuse, the Uniform Plumbing Code, and the International Plumbing Code to develop their own regulations.
