Progress with Integration of Ecosystem Services in SuDS
Ecosystem services comprise the interconnected human benefits provided by the natural world, spanning interlinked value systems and societal needs. Tools to expose the wider ramifications of policies, designs and actions, also highlighting the benefits and opportunities of systemic practice, are needed to promote systemic, sustainable practice. Water management in urban environments presents particular challenges related to growing populations accommodated by finite land area, with trends suggesting increasingly dense urbanisation. The evolving philosophy of SuDS and similar approaches such as water sensitive urban design (WSUD) underpin a significant transition in urban flood risk management. The SuDS Manual specifies techniques ranging from simply increasing floodwater storage capacity in dense, constrained urban settings through to incorporating multiple ecosystem service outcomes additional to drainage. Recognising multiple service outcomes differentiates the net consequences of hard engineering versus ecosystem‐based approaches to urban drainage. Decision‐makers, planners and managers need to adopt systemic approaches to urban water management challenges.
