By: Series: Civil Engineering ; 150(2) May 2002, 55(1)Publication details: 2002Subject(s): Summary: Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are an environmentally beneficial suite of techniques designed to avoid flooding, pollution and erosion risks associated with traditional piped surface water drainage systems Considers the barriers to implementation including perceived uncertainty as to maintenance responsibilities. SUDS are recognised by PPG 25 and design manuals have been created by CIRIA and the national agencies.
