Sustainable Drainage

What is Sustainable Drainage?

Sustainable Drainage is a sequence of management practises and control structures, often referred to as SUDS, designed to drain surface water in a more sustainable fashion than traditional piped systems. Typically, sustainable drainage techniques are used to slow down the rate of flow from development sites, reducing the risk of flooding and erosion.
