Keeping back the flood waters - 2007 - Building Engineer 82(8) August 2007, 14-15(2) .
In the light of recent flooding and the associated challenges for developers, this article looks at Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and attenuation. Attenuation systems are a technique under the strategy of SUDS and are designed to manage peak storm water flow rates by storing excess flow on site and then releasing it at a specified reduced flow rate after the storm. Considers regulatory requirements, the next generation of attenuation systems, recycling attenuated water, and specifying attenuation systems.
