Flood Control Measures

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) are techniques designed to control surface water run-off before it enters the watercourse. They are designed to mimic natural drainage processes, along with treating the water to reduce the amount of pollutants getting into the watercourse. They can be located as close as possible to where the rainwater falls and provide varying degrees of treatment for the surface water, using the natural processes of sedimentation, filtration, adsorption and biological degradation.

SUDwell resin bound paving is fully SuDs compliant, allowing surface water to permeate through the surface.
