SUDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems)<br />

Sustainable drainage systems or sustainable (urban)<br />

drainage systems: a sequence of management<br />

practices and control structures designed to drain<br />

surface water in a more sustainable fashion than<br />

some conventional techniques (may also be referred<br />

to as SuDS).<br />

Surface water management<br />

The management of runoff in stages as it drains from<br />

a site.<br />

Suspended solids<br />

Undissolved particles in a liquid.<br />

Swale<br />

A shallow vegetated channel designed to conduct<br />

and retain water, but may also permit infiltration;<br />

the vegetation filters particulate matter.<br />

Treatment<br />

Improving the quality of water by physical, chemical<br />

and/or biological means.<br />

Treatment volume<br />

The volume of surface runoff containing the most<br />

polluted portion of the flow from a rainfall event.<br />

Watercourse<br />

A term including all rivers, streams ditches drains<br />

cuts culverts dykes sluices and passages through<br />

which water flows.<br />

WRAP (Winter Rain Acceptance Potential)<br />

Classification used to calculate the permeability of<br />

soils and the percentage run-off from a particular<br />

area.<br />

Wet<br />

Containing water under dry weather conditions.<br />

Wetland<br />

A pond that has a high proportion of emergent<br />

vegetation in relation to open water.<br />
