Sustainable Drainage Systems as a water regime protection: An Investigation through analyzing ponding time

Abstract

The study was conducted in an area with a history of flash flooding. The research methodology involved installing SuDS units in the selected area, and measuring the ponding time before and after the installation of SuDS. The findings of the study showed that the SuDS were effective in reducing the ponding time by an average of 20%, indicating a reduction in flood risk. This case study shows that sustainable drainage systems are an effective way of reducing flood risk by slowing down and cleaning water before it enters rivers and streams
