SuDS stands for Sustainable Drainage System – a nature-based method to slow the flow of water, preventing localised flooding and improving the quality of water entering our rivers.
SERT designed and installed ten bespoke rain garden planters on school grounds to store rainwater and slow the flow of rain to the drain, reducing localised flooding.
This was part of the SuDS in Suttons’s Schools Project led by the London Borough of Sutton aiming to alleviate flood risk in Hackbridge, Sutton.
