Hydrological And Sedimentological (Dis)Connectivity In An Urban Suds System Based On High Resolution, Multi-Event Monitoring
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) are an integral part of the design in new housing developments. They are designed to manage surface water flooding and provide temporary storage for urban water runoff as well as allowing for the improvement of water quality through the natural operation of …

Quantifying stormwater pollutants and the efficacy of sustainable drainage systems on the R300 highway, Cape Town
… city, and proposes Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) as a means to achieve this (CSRM, 2009b). SuDS are structural and process controls that attenuate surface drainage, improve runoff water quality, provide amenity and deliver ecosystem services. This study characterized the R300 runoff through …

Development of the simple economic model (SEM) for stormwater management
Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) are increasingly being implemented around the world. A common barrier to the wider use of SuDS in South Africa is the uncertainty regarding their total cost. The need for reasonable predictions of life cycle cost is vital, both in terms of ensuring the …
