Technical report entitled with "Implementing Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in hilly areas: Understanding and recommendations"

The technical report titled "Implementing Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Hilly Areas: Understanding and Recommendations" rexplores the unique challenges and strategies associated with deploying SuDS in hilly terrains. It emphasizes the importance of adapting drainage solutions to the topographical and environmental conditions specific to hilly regions. The report provides insights into the design, and implementation of SuDS, aiming to mitigate issues such as surface water runoff and slope instability, which are exacerbated by the slopes. It also discusses the integration of SuDS with existing urban infrastructure to enhance resilience against climate change impacts and urbanization pressures. The recommendations are based on a comprehensive analysis of case studies and best practices, offering practical guidance for engineers, urban planners, and policymakers involved in sustainable urban development.
