Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) are a set of practices and techniques designed to manage surface water runoff in urban areas in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The goal of SUDS is to mimic natural drainage processes, reduce the impact of urban development on water quality, and mitigate flooding. These systems focus on slowing down, capturing, and utilising rainwater, rather than allowing it to rapidly runoff into conventional drainage systems.
