In this week's Jargon Buster, we dive into the world of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and how they can help transform urban environments for the better. SuDS are becoming increasingly significant as cities grow and climate change impacts must be mitigated. Learn more here about how they can help mitigate flooding, improve water quality, and boost biodiversity in your community. #SUDS #TheGreenPartnership

💧Protecting wetlands is crucial for driving change and conserving water resources. Wetlands act as natural water storage systems, filtering and replenishing our water supply while reducing the impact of droughts and floods. 🌿 As we face growing environmental challenges, conserving and restoring wetlands is more important than ever. By safeguarding these ecosystems, we not only save water but also promote a more sustainable and resilient future for our planet. Let's take action today to protect our wetlands and ensure a healthier tomorrow! #SaveWater #WetlandsMatter

Global Water Crisis : Facts & Solutions | Water Conservations Currently, one of the most pressing issues facing humanity is the worldwide water crisis. The supply of fresh, clean water is running out quickly due to factors like population growth, wasteful water use, and climate change. Because of the disruptions to natural water cycles caused by climate change, there is less access to vital freshwater sources due to extended droughts, receding glaciers, and erratic rainfall. #FutureonEarth #sustainablefuture #sustainability #watercrisis https://lnkd.in/ey2VuQYH

‘We have built our world for a climate that no longer exists’ So many implications of course - but two big ones for transport - the balance between securing the transport infrastructure we have and building more is going to have to shift - ever expanding hard standing for more and bigger cars will make heat and flooding problems worse when the risks from both are growing Part of the answer is a shift in focus within the transport professions from more tarmac and concrete to more blue green retrofitting of our existing infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gRc8FiJH

Investments in water recycling and reuse are key to stretching limited water supplies, making systems more resilient, and insulating communities from the effects of drought and a changing climate in the American West. Check out this video so see how Reclamation investments are helping communities find new sources to meet their needs today and into the future. #WaterRecycling #Resilience #Reclamation https://lnkd.in/ginB-BbC

Sponge cities, also known as "Water Sensitive Cities" or "Sustainable Drainage Systems," are like nature's own sponges for our urban future. They're all about using clever, nature-inspired solutions to tackle flooding, clean up water, and even fight the scorching heat waves. Imagine cities that not only become more livable and eco-friendly but also tougher in the face of climate change - that's what sponge cities can do for the urban folks. #Pyse #InvestwithPyse #WaterManagement #SustainableLiving #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy

The UK's fens are internationally important wetland habitats and support a huge diversity of plants and animals, some of them rare and not found anywhere else. 💧 Fens are wetlands whose waters are sourced from groundwater, such as springs and seepages, or surface water such as rivers and rainwater runoff. With their water coming from the surrounding landscape, fens are sensitive to how their surroundings are used by people and, like other freshwaters, are susceptible to pressures such as nutrient pollution. Fens often form peat, deposits of organic material formed by the partial decomposition of plant material. Peat is a vital carbon sink and helps with flood control. 🍃 Fens have declined greatly, due to pollution, climate change, changes in land use, and lack of management. It is estimated that 3,400 square kilometres of fen was present in England in the 17th century, yet only 10 square kilometres remain today.
