File Name : Rural Sustainable Drainage Systems: A Practical Design and Build Guide for Scotland’s Farmers and Landowners. Duffy, A. et al., (2016), 57 pgs.

Rural Sustainable Drainage Systems (Rural SuDS) are a type of Nature-Based Solutions approach. They aim to reduce agricultural diffuse pollution impacts as they are physical barriers that treat rainfall runoff. This guide helps with selecting, designing and building the most suitable Rural SuDS for your farm and explains how to look after the systems. It also promotes the wider benefits such as coping with extreme weather related to climate change, localised flood prevention and enhancing biodiversity.
