Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS / Balancing Pond)

Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) are a set of innovative and environmentally-friendly approaches used to manage surface water runoff in urban areas. The primary goal of SuDS is to mimic natural drainage processes, allowing water to be managed sustainably and reducing the risk of flooding, while also providing additional benefits for the environment and communities.

SuDS are often planted with aquatic reeds which help with filtration from run off water. Over time the reeds will encroach out into the water and in most cases completely cover the surface area. When this occurs its crucial to have the reeds removed back to a marginal fringe, as this is drastically reducing the water capacity that they can hold and also impeding on flow, which in turn means they are not operating as they should.
