Abstract

Cross-sector and cross-disciplinary approaches are required to deliver solutions for sustainable water management both locally and globally. Successful integration of water management solutions requires diverse evidence derived from physical, social, economic and environmental sciences. Enhanced understanding, along with strong leadership (enabled by policy and governance frameworks) and collaborative relationships are essential in order to deliver sustainable water management practices on the ground. In this chapter we describe the benefits of multifunctional Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and explain how these Nature-based Solutions (NbS) contribute to delivery of Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM). We illustrate this issue using examples from the United Kingdom where interdisciplinary approaches have enhanced the evidence for the multiple benefits (ecosystem services) provided by sustainable drainage. Additionally, we provide insight into the mechanisms for communicating this evidence to decision-makers and comment on the opportunities and challenges associated with operationalising the delivery of these IUWM solutions.
