Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, June). Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been shown to be the preferred solution in dealing with excess urban flooding compared with traditional drainage methods (Woods-Ballard et al, 2007). Aside from flood prevention and water purification, SuDS a... Read More about Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).
