";s:4:"text";s:4843:"SuDS are more sustainable than traditional drainage methods because they: Manage runoff volumes and flow rates from hard surfaces, reducing the impact of urbanisation on flooding Provide opportunitiesd for using runoff where it falls Protect or enhance water quality (reducing pollution from runoff) Using the latest techniques, this scheme will catch, clean and divert rainwater directly into the River Taff instead of pumping it over 6 miles through the Vale of Glamorgan to the sea. Because SuDS describe a collection of systems with similar components or goals, there is a large crossover between SuDS and other terminologies dealing with sustainable urban development . Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are designed to reduce the potential impact of new and existing developments with respect to surface water drainage discharges.The idea behind SuDS is to try to replicate natural systems that use cost effective solutions with low environmental impact to drain away surface water run-off through collection, storage, and cleaning before allowing it to be released slowly back into the environment, such as into water courses. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are designed to reduce the potential impact of new and existing developments with respect to surface water drainage discharges.
