We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Surface Water",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Stormcell controls surface water run off from
Hydro International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Installation of Hydro International's Stormcell and Hydro-Brake stormwater control systems on one of the biggest sustainable commercial business development projects".
The day before,
we featured the news release Protecting watercourses from construction works from
Environment Agency: "New Environment Agency guidance to help protect environment from construction works near watercourses".
In February 2008, we covered the news from CIWEM
concerning its Future Water
- take a look at CIWEM welcomes Defra Water Strategy, Future Water
which says: "CIWEM also endorses the strategy's plans for surface water drainage and would support a strategic role for the Environment Agency on all aspects of inland flooding".
Take a look also at the news release from Hydro International, Action to avoid future flood devastation,
as well as ProctorPave Gravel plastic porous paver from A Proctor Group,
and New range from Wavin Plastics is a perfect fit from Wavin Plastics.
