“Sustainable drainage systems, often shortened to SuDS, is a term for a set of environmentally friendly techniques that are designed to help manage and control surface water runoff, close to where it falls. The aim of SuDS is to mimic natural water management processes by allowing water to infiltrate into the ground, evaporate away, or be stored again for later use, rather than immediately diverted into traditional drainage systems. SuDS can include a number of different practices or mechanisms designed to drain or soak up surface water in a more sustainable way than draining water runoff through a pipe into a sewer”.
