Managing #surfacewater isn’t just about roads, there are simple ways to reduce flooding & improve drainage at home.
We’ve written a blog on #permeablepaving, rain gardens & soakaways, simple ways to manage surface water & reduce #floodrisk around your property: thefloodhub.co.uk/blog/managin...
To help manage #surfacewater on roads, highway #drainage assets can include roadside #gullies, underground pipes and #culverts, pumping stations, #soakaways, ditches, and #SustainableDrainageSystems (#SuDS) such as #swales. 🌧️

#HighwaysAuthorities manage #highways #drainage to control #rainfall and reduce #flooding 🌧️
But during heavy rain, systems can be overwhelmed, causing #surfacewater flooding on roads and nearby areas.

Highways Authorities are #unitaryauthorities or #countycouncils and take a lead role in managing highway #drainage and roadside ditches. They also work closely with LLFAs and #FloodRiskManagement teams to help reduce #surfacewater #floodrisk.

Did you know ~70% of the UK’s #sewersystem is ‘combined’? 🌧️
This means both #surfacewater rainfall & wastewater from bathrooms & kitchens travel through the same network. During heavy rain, these systems can become overwhelmed & contribute to #flooding.

#LeadLocalFloodAuthorities (#LLFAs) are responsible for managing the risk of #flooding from #surfacewater.
Did you know that surface water is the #1 source of #floodrisk in England, affecting both #rural areas and the
#urbanenvironment?
As part of our ‘Who’s Responsible?’ Focus Week, we’re highlighting the role of #LeadLocalFloodAuthorities (#LLFAs). 🌊
LLFAs manage #floodrisk from #surfacewater, #ordinarywatercourses, and #groundwater, as well as recording and investigating flooding incidents in their local areas.
The #EnvironmentAgency produces publicly available #floodrisk maps for main #river, #surfacewater, #reservoir, and #groundwater flooding (where available). 🌊

#ClimateChange is increasing the frequency of this kind of intense rainfall, and that means more risk of flash flooding in towns and cities.

#SurfaceWater #FloodRisk #ClimateResilience
🌧️ Surface water #flooding is becoming more common as climate change brings heavier, more intense rainfall.
#SurfaceWater flooding happens when heavy rain can’t soak into the ground or overwhelm drains, causing water to flow overland. It can occur even in areas far from rivers.
Over 3 million properties are at risk of surface water #flooding in #England💧🏡.
Our resource outlines 3 steps you can take to understand #SurfaceWater #flood risk.

#SuDS are designed to manage #surfacewater close to where it falls, mimicking natural drainage to help manage #floodrisk! 🌧️
SuDS work by slowing down & storing rainwater, allowing it to soak into the ground naturally.
Find out more about how SuDS work & their benefits 👉 thefloodhub.co.uk/suds/
#SustainableDrainageSystems have a range of benefits in addition to reducing #surfacewater #flooding.
Our #SuDS toolkit contains lots of useful information and resources on SuDS and blue-green infrastructure.
