Additional information
This work was carried out at Glasgow Caledonian University with the support of the Engineers Perth and Kinross County Council. The outcomes of this study are that SUDS provide mechanisms within their respective structures and design criteria to treat, transport and attenuate runoff up to 1/200 year return period and release the runoff at a controlled rate (Which is less than the Greenfield runoff) to connecting watercourses. Therefore, the incorporation of SUDS, as opposed to a conventional drainage system, reduces the flood risk associated with infrastructure.
