	<description><![CDATA[Call it what you want, but urban water management has already come a long way in the last few decades - maybe more than the author is aware. In the 70's stormwater management consisted of dry pond flood control. In the 80's, flood control and wet pond water quality control. In the 90's, flood control, water quality control, and erosion potential control. In the present, flood control, water quality control, erosion potential, natural channel design, wetland reclamation, water balance and groundwater protection, rain harvesting, green roofs, etc etc in the interest of low impact development. The bar always goes up, never down. New development is bluer and greener than ever. <br />
<br />
One specific comment. The Oslo Opera House looks ridiculous. There is nothong blue or green about this other than the algae bloom it might help to create. The shoreline is completed nuked, void of naturalization and looking like a giant solar reflector. This is an unfortunate inclusion in the article and I would question why the author thinks this a good example when it appears to be the polar opposite. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I find this to be a compelling argument.  I would also consider starting terrestrially with stormwater runoff, creeks, rivers; waters, in some places, that are nearby, visible, accessible.]]></description>
