SuDS implementation scales
- The different sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) allow to propose a SuDS approach to different implementation scales, which can be subdivided as follow:
-
- building
- property lots
- street and parking
- open spaces
- Retrofitting of existing green areas
IRIDRA proposes the SuDS approach for all the scales, from single houses to public open spaces, up to big peri-urban areas.
