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 …

The effectiveness of certain sustainable urban drainage systems in controlling flooding and pollution from urban runoff
… in this thesis addressed the performance of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) at three sites in Scotland - a porous paved car park and two swales. It is the first research to provide results for such systems in the UK and also the first direct comparison between SUDS and traditional …

The role of knowledge and institutional challenges to the adoption of sustainable urban drainage in Saudi Arabia: implications for sustainable environmental development
Urban drainage in Saudi Arabia is an increasingly challenging issue due to factors such as climate change and rapid urban expansion. The existing infrastructure, based on traditional drainage systems, is not always able to cope with the increased precipitation, sometimes leading to rainwater runoff …

How spatial planning can enable pathways to the implementation of sustainable urban drainage systems in the city bowl, Cape Town
… trend of population growth has led to a rapid urbanisation, resulting in unprecedented land cover change. The incarnation of accompanying developed has typified impermeable surfaces. These surfaces have disconnected the stormwater component of the natural hydrological cycle, disregarding it as …

The critical success factors for landscape management of operations on sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) projects
Population explosion and urbanization are the most significant reasons for increasing pressure on the earth's natural resources, particularly water. Historically, water services have been supplied and discharged through a network of piped infrastructure and hardened surfaces with the main …

Behaviour and effectiveness of in-ground sustainable urban drainage systems in Scotland
… and filter drains are the most common types o f sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) in Scotland. Despite their extensive use there has been only limited examination of their performance, with the general expectation that failure through lack of maintenance and poor detailing design would …

Using algae as environmental impact indicators in urban freshwater ponds
Urban freshwater ponds are bodies of water that sustain a diversity of higher plants, vertebrates, invertebrates, amphibians and algae. The importance of ponds in the enhancement of diversity in urban habitats is little understood due to a lack of available knowledge of the processes and …

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 …
