Introduction to the Design of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)

Jessica Jefferys discusses SuDS (aka LIDs in the US) and how they can be incorporated into a design and assessed along with the rest of your stormwater infrastructure. We look at the range of facilities that can be incorporated, common advantages/disadvantages to each one, and tips and tricks to sizing and reporting these controls on a project.
