The @EnvAgency have just published their surface water investment model (SWIM) approach, which you can use to help build a business case for investing in multiple small sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) features over a wide area. More details here: https://t.co/UDT71x6O6M

[Unda @undaconsulting]

@KCC_FWM @CIRIAupdates Useful timing. The proposed 2026 NPPF puts SuDS as a concept-stage design driver, so getting CIRIA's framework in at sketch-stage is now the difference between condition-discharge friction and a clean consent.

Rivers, locks, weirs and sluices may look like fun places to cool down this #HalfTerm, but they can contain hidden dangers.

Would you know what to do if you saw someone struggling? Remember:

🗣️ Float

Do you know how to report a 'blockage' on your local river or stream?

We removed a blockage from the 'Pickle Ditch' near Merton High Street after it was reported to us.

It was done using our 'report a blockage' webpage here - https://t.co/7dKqQ7q27I

With hot weather this weekend, rivers are great places to have fun, get close to nature and spend time with friends and family, but vigilance saves lives and water-related accidents
can be avoided by knowing how to stay safe.

This RNLI video shows you how to 'Float to Live'.
