#ClimateChange is increasing the frequency of this kind of intense rainfall, and that means more risk of flash flooding in towns and cities.
Explore how we can manage this with #SustainableDrainageSystems ( #SuDS) here: thefloodhub.co.uk/suds/

#SustainableDrainageSystems have a range of benefits in addition to reducing #surfacewater #flooding.

Our #SuDS toolkit contains lots of useful information and resources on SuDS and blue-green infrastructure.

Take a look here➡️ thefloodhub.co.uk/sustainable-...

Climate change is causing heavier rainfall and increasing the risk of #SurfaceWaterFlooding.

#SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS) help manage this by slowing down, storing, and soaking away excess rainwater, reducing pressure on drains and managing #flood risk.

Explore our #SustainableDrainageSystems (SuDS) page and you can find lots of information on:
💧 The types of #SuDS
💧 SuDS and Development
💧 Blue-green Infrastructure
💧 Multiple Benefits of SuDS
💧 Surface Water Flooding

💧🌿 SuDS Focus Week starts Monday! 🌿💧
Join us next week as we explore #SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS), how they help manage #flood risk and the extra benefits they bring to the #environment. 🌍🏡

Follow us across our social media to stay updated.

🌿💧 It’s the start of our #SustainableDrainageSystems Focus Week! 💧🌿

This week, we’ll be sharing info on (#SuDS) and their role in managing #flooding. From the basics to real-life case studies, we’ll explore how SuDS help manage #flood risk and provide a range of additional benefits. 🌧️🏡

To help manage #surfacewater on roads, highway #drainage assets can include roadside #gullies, underground pipes and #culverts, pumping stations, #soakaways, ditches, and #SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS) such as #swales. 🌧️

Learn more about SuDS: thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/u...

Lesson 10 part 1 covers #flood defences & flood schemes, focusing on how they can reduce flood risk. Pupils will also learn about flood resilience & the different types, such as Property Flood Resilience (#PFR)🏡and #SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS)💧🌱.

🌱#SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS) - These mimic natural drainage patterns to manage rainfall and surface water runoff close to the source. Examples of SuDS include #waterbutts, #permeablepaving and #greenroofs.

More information can be found on our SuDS page here: ➡️www.thefloodhub.co.uk/suds

#PermeablePaving is a technique used which falls within #SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS). It allows surface water to soak through into the ground, rather than run off into the drainage network.

💧Looking forward to hearing more about #SustainableDrainageSystems during @thefloodhub.bsky.social #SuDS focus week next week.💧

In case it's of interest, here is our recent report on increasing #FloodResilience with SuDS.
