“What are Sustainable Drainage Solutions (SuDS), and their environmental benefits for cities like York?”
Kevin Smalley BSc (Hons) MIET, Design Delivery Manager – Galliford Try
Joe Hodgkinson, Design Manager – Galliford Try
Joint Lecture with IET North Yorkshire
With climate change increasing the regularity and intensity of storms and heavy downpours we see the impact firsthand with flooding of homes and businesses and the impact on our river health from inundated sewer systems.
Our current combined sewers are a legacy of a time before these climactic events and new thinking is being applied to how we can better manage water and prevent these impacts.
This talk will explore the consequences of legacy systems and some of the new tools and techniques being applied to manage storm water more effectively and mitigate the devastating effects flooding and pollution can cause.
7pm in the Tempest Anderson Lecture Theatre in the Yorkshire Museum.
