Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) Designed to reduce the potential impact of new and existing developments with respect to surface water drainage discharge and entails a sequence of practices and facilities. These practices, rely on natural processes like evaporation, infiltration, and plant transpiration, and can effectively and affordably complement traditional “grey” infrastructure, and provide a wide range of benefits. SuDS substantially reduce the overall amount of water entering local storm sewers or surface waters and reduce flooding related impacts.
Post 2020 EU Funding Horizon Europe Focused missions to promote impact - high-ambition, high profile initiatives, to find solutions to some of the major challenges faced by European citizens: • Adaptation to climate change including societal transformation; • Cancer; • Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters; • Climate-neutral and smart cities; • Soil health and food.
