Best Practice

The best practice principle of engineering in nature’s way is to manage the flow of water in the most natural way from source to sea. It’s a philosophy that values ‘at-source’ solutions and a catchment approach, using the most appropriate tools and techniques.

This section aims to pool good examples of SUDS and flood prevention. Whether you are a local authority preparing to be a SAB, a developer or a consultant, you may have useful experiences to add to this area and share with others. If so, please contact us.
