Evaluating the Effectiveness of Retrofitting Simple and Smart Sustainable Drainage Systems at the Household Scale 1: University of Exeter, United Kingdom; 2: SDS Limited; 3: Southern Water This study evaluates the performance of retrofitted smart and passive Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) at a household scale. Over a three-month monitoring period, data were collected from seven tanks across six systems (three smart and three passive) to assess their rainwater attenuation capacity. Smart tanks, leveraging autonomous operation and weather forecasts, effectively mitigated overflows, while passive tanks, relying on fixed drainage mechanisms, experienced frequent overflows. The findings highlight the advantages of smart SuDS in improving stormwater management and the potential for passive systems under moderate conditions. These results contribute to advancing urban drainage solutions. | |
