A Scoping Study: To outline the scope for using sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) in low-income countries. Poorly managed urban drainage causes flooding, disease, pollution, economic loss, social disruption and environmental degradation. This project examines the reasons why we need drainage and investigates some alternatives to highly engineered, expensive conventional drainage systems.
