Course Details

This comprehensive program is designed to help participants understand the nuances of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), with a specific focus on hydraulic design, implementation, and long-term management. Through a mixture of theory, practical examples, and emerging trends, we aim to equip you with the skills and knowledge required to excel in this field and contribute to sustainable water management practices.

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

Understand the fundamental principles of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and their roles in mitigating flood risks and enhancing water quality.
Develop effective SuDS designs, integrating natural and engineered solutions, and understand the implementation process.
Apply maintenance and monitoring strategies to ensure the long-term effectiveness of SuDS.
Understand the regulatory context and best practices in sustainable drainage systems.
Appreciate the importance of community engagement and the integration of SuDS into broader urban and rural planning.

This course is ideal for:

Civil and environmental engineers who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their skills in sustainable drainage.
Urban planners and policymakers interested in implementing sustainable water management practices.
Students studying environmental engineering, urban planning, or related fields who wish to gain practical knowledge.
Individuals considering a career change into sustainable water management.
Community leaders and activists who wish to understand and advocate for Sustainable Drainage Systems.
