Drain brains - 2002 - New Civil Engineer (1434) 21 March 2002, 19-22(4) .
As the frequency and severity of winter flooding increases, the UK needs to address its poor management of rainwater run-off. Article looks at the range of sustainable drainage solutions (SuDS) available including porous paving, detention basins, retention ponds, balancing ponds, constructed wetlands, swales, and infiltration trenches. Provides details of operating sustainable drainage schemes and compares the run off rates between SuDS and conventional drainage. Also illustrates the environmental benefits of SuDS such as reducing river pollution. Diagrams. Graph.
