Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems - SUDS

This event by CPRE London during London Rivers Week discussed the urgent need to transform London into a "sponge city" to address urban drainage issues and improve river health. The main points covered include: Introduction to Sponge City Concept: The urgency of implementing sustainable urban drainage systems like rain gardens and wetlands was emphasised to reduce sewage overflow and filter pollutants from urban runoff. Importance of River Health: Wetlands play a crucial role in slowing water flow, improving river hydrology, and supporting local wildlife. These natural solutions also contribute to carbon capture and urban cooling. Government and Public Health Concerns: Recent calls for London to adopt the sponge city model highlight concerns about water quality as a public health issue, stressing immediate action. Expert Contributions: Speakers discussed ongoing initiatives and future needs for developing nature-based solutions to urban water management problems. Event Logistics and Engagement: The event was well-attended with provisions for both in-person and online participants. It included presentations, a panel discussion, and opportunities for audience interaction.
