Ambitious SuDS project to protect London from flooding

摘要

A major sustainable drainage scheme is set to be constructed on London's South Bank as part of efforts to protect the capital from flooding. The Nine Elms project is the result of an innovative partnership between Thames Water and the Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership, which includes Wandsworth Council, Lambeth Council, the GLA and local developers. It will result in rainfall landing on an area equivalent to 20 football pitches draining into the Thames instead of entering the local combined sewer.
