Sustainable Drainage at the City Scale
A Case Study in Glasgow, Scotland
Glasgow City Council (GCC) of Scotland was promoted the use of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) as evidenced by the SuDS Database. This was a database established and maintained by SEPA until 2001. Good progress was ensured by the introduction of new regulations: The Water Environment Amendment Regulations, or CAR Regulations, which contained General Binding Rules requiring SuDS to be used in new developments. As knowledge and understanding about SuDS spread, an appreciation grew of the triangle of benefits with its three distinct sides: water quality, water quantity and amenity. Multi‐functionality is now considered desirable, probably beyond the three sides of the SuDS triangle. There are further opportunities to engage with different sectors when considering SuDS, and this has become a target for Glasgow to aim towards. Several design studies have been produced as part of the journey towards a fuller understanding of how developments can accommodate this multi‐functional approach.
