Overview

Why Attend

As urban development continues to increase impermeable surfaces and pressure on drainage networks, well-planned Sustainable Drainage Systems have become essential to managing water responsibly and reducing flood risk. This training course gives participants a complete, practical grounding in planning, designing, and managing SuDS, connecting drainage design decisions directly to real flood risk and water management outcomes.

Participants will strengthen their understanding of stormwater behavior and how it shapes drainage system requirements, and will build practical competency in applying flood mitigation measures within sustainable drainage design. The course places strong emphasis on integrating SuDS principles into urban drainage networks, and develops sound skills in broader water management practices that support resilient, sustainable urban development.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
