Autodesk via YouTube

Overview

Explore the fundamentals of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in this informative one-hour video presentation by Jessica Jefferys. Learn about the integration of SuDS, also known as Low Impact Development (LID) in the US, into design projects and their assessment alongside traditional stormwater infrastructure. Discover a range of sustainable drainage facilities, their advantages and disadvantages, and gain practical tips for sizing and reporting these controls. Delve into topics such as bioretention, rain gardens, swales, trenches, ponds, wetlands, underground chambers, porous paving, green roofs, and rainwater harvesting. Understand sustainable drainage principles, design criteria, and examine example site plans to enhance your knowledge of environmentally friendly water management solutions.

    This course was a great introduction to all things SuDS. The audio did not match up with the slides/sections however so had to try and follow by listening after noting down the visual when audio was paused
