1 Managing Surface Water with Retrofit Sustainable Drainage by David Schofield, Arup, Midlands Campus, UK It s what you do and not just what you say, if you re not part of the future, get out of the way. John Mellencamp Birmingham CIRIA LANDFORM Seminar: Stemming The Flow, 15 th September 2009 British Water Sustainable Drainage Focus Group: The 2006 Sustainable Drainage Technical Mission to United States of America Learning Lessons from Others Download the Report & Technical 1

2 Sustainable Development & the Role of Sustainable Drainage: Flood Risk Management & Climate Change Challenges; Storm Clouds Brewing This balancing act is; Flood Risk Management & NOT Flood Risk Prevention. Flood Risk Management & Climate Change Challenges Essential; A Joined Up Approach to FRM & Sustainable Development Planning We are great. We are terrible. It builds up interest in us as human beings. Ayrton Senna da Silva 2

3 The (Draft) Floods & Water Management Bill: A Key Component of the Solution Empower Local Government to Promote Authentic Sustainable Drainage & FRM Solutions The Importance and Benefits of Public Engagement Empowerment and Education: Part of the Solution 3

4 How Might We Reduce the Quantity of Urban Surface Water Runoff? Address The Cumulative Negative Effects of Uncontrolled Infill Development Part of the Solution: Where Technically Feasible, Sustainable Porous Surfacing (with Bioremediation Potential) 4

5 Sustainable Development & the Role of Sustainable Drainage: Traditional Drainage Techniques: Part of the Problem? Contemporary Sustainable Drainage: The Toolbox of Techniques A Core Methodology Underpinned by a Plethora of Authentic Techniques Improve Quality Evapotranspiration Bioremediation Biodiversity Sustainable Drainage Reduce Quantity Storage Filtration Infiltration Treatment Train Attenuation Flow Control Flood Risk 5

6 The Surface Water Management Train: Source, Site and Regional Control New Build or Retrofit Solutions The Importance of Trees: Planting, Preservation, Protection, Restoration 6

7 Keeping Surface Water Management Retrofit Simple; Downpipe Disconnection & Surface Water Discounting Integrating Sustainable Drainage into Highway Infrastructure: Surface Water Management by New Build or Retrofit; 7

8 Integrating Sustainable Drainage into Highway Infrastructure: Integrating Sustainable Drainage into Highway Infrastructure: 8

9 Filterra Bioretention System by Hydro International: New Build or Retrofit Integrating Brown (& Green) Roof Technology into Building Design Red Rock State Park Visitor Centre, Arizona 9

10 Managing Surface Water Quality for The Water Framework Directive The European Union WFD: Overview First published in December Transposed into English Law in December Introduced concept of good status for water bodies (by 2015), River Basin Management Plans & 6 Year Review Cycles. Described as: The most important piece of European water legislation ever but also undeliverable in full. Which will prove to be correct? Improved Surface Water Quality Through Bioremediation from Plants: Green Roof Technology is Sustainable Drainage Potential Unrealised Bioremediation is a natural surface water cleansing method utilising the biological and biochemical processes available from flora 10

11 Surface Water Quality Retrofit for The Water Framework Directive Challenge Packaged Treatment Train (Up-Flo Filter) & Advanced Polymer Technology (Smart Sponge) Advanced Technologies by Hydro International & Source Control Systems Sustainable Drainage by Retrofit or New Build: Whole-Life Issues & The Importance of Operation & Maintenance for Authentic Sustainability 11

12 Sustainable Development & the Role of Sustainable Drainage: The Brundtland Definition; A Strategic Challenge for Surface Water Management Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Former Norwegian Prime Minister, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Our Common Future 1987 Managing Surface Water Quality with Retrofit Sustainable Drainage Thank you for listening; david.schofield@arup.com Remember, in the end, nobody wins unless everybody wins. Bruce Springsteen There is no silver bullet!! 12
