Sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS). New housing estate with an engineered drainage system to handle excess rainfall helping to reduce the risk of flooding. This low tract of land is a feature known as an artificial swale. Its purpose is to channel water runoff and help the ground absorb heavy rainfall. The shrubs,which include reedmace or bulrush (Typha latifolia),help reduce evaporation of water. Photographed in 2013 in Buckshaw Village,Lancashire,UK | |
