Case studies

The table below provides a number of varied case studies that demonstrate a more sustainable approach to managing surface water runoff. The extent to which the examples have embraced the SuDS principles will vary and will often reflect the availability of good practice, the brief from the client and the subsequent design criteria. However, all examples demonstrate the advantages of SuDS and provide improvements in either water quality, water quantity and amenity/biodiversity. In some cases all of the broad objectives are realised as well as delivering other multiple benefits.
