Document Status

Abstract
Gives guidance on how vegetated drainage systems may be used to convey, store and treat highway runoff. They are described as vegetated drainage systems because they contain a significant element of vegetation and they are designed for use especially in highway drainage networks. They are similar to systems described elsewhere as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS). Designers should note that not all SUDS are appropriate for highway use.
