As the UK faces a projected water deficit of 5 billion litres per day by 2050, property developers are increasingly looking at rainwater harvesting systems not just as an environmental consideration, but as a strategic business decision. The question is no longer whether to implement water reuse solutions, but rather how quickly you can integrate them into your developments to unlock competitive advantages. The Financial Case: Incentives That Improve Your Bottom Line One of t

We should be aware now that soakaways are often the go-to solution for surface water drainage, but they have one critical weakness: they simply don't work in clay soils. If you're a homeowner, architect, or developer facing this challenge, you're not alone. Clay's low permeability means water has nowhere to go, leaving you with a failed drainage system and potential flooding issues. The good news? There are several proven alternative attenuation methods that work brilliantly

When it comes to sustainable drainage systems, not every site presents a straightforward solution. Whilst basic SuDS features like permeable paving and simple swales work brilliantly on standard developments, challenging sites demand a more sophisticated approach. After four decades in drainage design, I've encountered every conceivable site constraint, and I can tell you that advanced SuDS features aren't just clever engineering solutions. They're often the difference betwee
